The Final Solution: A Half Way Home short story
There’s a solution. But it’s not the one they anticipated.
They started with five hundred, but their numbers are decreasing every day. Exponentially. Science Officer Brent and Medical Officer Kelley are tasked with discovering who - or what - is picking off colonists from their expeditionary settlement on the seeming Eden of this alien planet. But science and logic are no match for their rapacious nemesis, as they race to find a solution before their colony becomes unviable and the unthinkable becomes reality. :: The Final Solution was a finalist in the Hugh Howey / Booktrack short story competition, and is set in a new colony in the Half Way Home universe, with Hugh's kind permission. Parts 2 and 3 of the trilogy, The Final Countdown and The Final Destination are coming soon.
