      Date in a Spaceship - Eva Holmquist

      DESCRIPTION DATE IN A SPACESHIP

      Life at Descansar - Heart-warming science fiction!

      Descansar, the largest space station in this part of the galaxy. Home to ordinary people trying to make a living, smugglers and other criminals taking what they thought were the easy route, and security personnel always in pursuit of the truth or at least what they believe to be the truth. A hub for trade, travel, and shady dealings.

      On Descansar everything can happen, and given enough time it will…

      The stories in the Descansar Universe range from the humorous to the thrilling, but all of them centers around humans’ fears, hopes, and adventures.

      In the belly of the spaceship Adelante, newly arrived Maya waits for Cezar, her first date. A cramped, dark hallway. Lights sunken into the ceiling. Walls painted dreary gray. Not a single plant.

      Not safe!

      Gigantic signs. Authorized Personnel Only.

      Why meet here?

      Then Cezar arrives with scary plans.

      A sweet story of a date. And an exciting discovery.

      A new delightful science fiction story in the Descansar Universe.

The darkness descending on her every few minutes was unbearable. Why couldn’t the
