Death is temporary. Memory is forever.

Stranded on an uncharted planet, Hornet and Charlie crew are just trying to get back home. But their simple escape plan complicates quickly. In her last incarnation, Hornet killed their lead, sabotaged their drop ship’s lift, and destroyed their off-world comms.
She just can’t remember why.
While Charlie conducts deadly runs through a veritable gauntlet of hellish obstacles, trying to find a way to life-saving resources, Hornet must manage her crewmate’s mercurial trust while parsing through the remains of a life she never lived.
