      Orienteering Meet - Eva Holmquist

      DESCRIPTION ORIENTEERING MEET

      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.

      An orienteering competition in the greenery on board a space station.

      Carla runs fast but can’t find the fastest route to a checkpoint. Green bushes, a thundering waterfall, and a humidity that feels like raining, disorients her.

      Ingi finds his way everywhere. Except on the space station.

      Can two lonely orienteers find their way out?
