<p>James Blackthorn is a solid company exo-geologist stationed at an automated mining facility on a newly discovered planet of Zil. It's his duty or so he thinks to spend the brutally hot summer months helping to test an experimental drug on an indigenous reptilian volunteer Aveliin<span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>-</span>one that blocks her species' natural hibernation cycle and will prepare them for integration into Concur Unlimited. As the planet bakes the two have plenty of time to waste so they share their cultures<span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>-</span>which for James involves watching old films and playing classic games. And this close relationship becomes romantic. As they grow closer there's more at stake than the happily-ever-after of one human and one Zill. But the course of true love never did run smoothly for anyone in heaven or Earth or Zil.</p><p><br></p>
