And the Wisdom to know when to give up”
Admitting you have a problem is the start of real healing. An epic riddle is stuck in the craw of an entire galaxy.
The Milky Way Chapter of CA-Intergalactic is the largest addiction recovery group in the Universe, boasting membership on Earth, Eridanus and most recently, Mars. The greatest minds, living/breathing or circuitry/A.I., continue to pour over the annoying cryptic challenge.
The Triangulum Chapter of CA-Intergalactic is about to form, having been reeled into the nasty habit by that master of temptation, Sampson McKinney, who passes his addiction on to Chasonn, who never met a challenge he could not resist. The “Harmonia Query” should mean little to Seljuk, but there is something about that Space Family McKinney that hits close to home. Those Earthlings are a compelling story, seemingly tossed about the Great Expanse by circumstances they rarely have a handle on.
