Planet Gemini

by Melissa Whitt

When Don Eiron awakens on the streets of Venice Beach, California in the year 2117, he has no memory of his past, no money and no place to go. He eventually winds up in a cheap capsule high-rise, where the only comfort he gets from his coffin-like hatch is a few beers stashed in the wall and the virtual seduction of a nightclub singer named Gaza. It’s no wonder he’s losing sleep. Eiron thinks he’s solved his problems when he picks up a lone business card off the dusty streets of Pomona. It leads him to Planet Gemini, where the work is plenty and the party never seems to end. The middle-aged barfly joins a flood of criminals, border jumpers and transients billions of miles across the universe. But Gemini’s liquor and drugs aren’t what they seem. And its human workers are headed straight into danger, not a career path. If Eiron can sober up and unlock his amnesia in time, he just might get out alive.
