      Birthday Surprise - Eva Holmquist

      DESCRIPTION BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

      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.

      Ever since Maya’s parents died in a freak accident, she lives alone with her little sister, Sophie.

      Most of the time, Maya acts like a responsible adult despite being only fifteen.

      But on her sister’s birthday, a prank gets out of hand.

      Sophie disappears in the belly of space station Descansar.

      Can Maya find Sophie before it’s too late?

      A story about two grieving sisters and their struggle in the Descansar Universe.
