A Proof of Possibility. A Clumsy Handful of Stars, #1

Aida de Luca knows better than to defy protocol. As comm specialist, she has no official role in a survey mission on an abandoned planet. Her job is to stay out of trouble, ready in case the science team requires her linguistic expertise. Venturing alone into a mysterious cave is the most reckless thing she's ever done. But something is calling to her, and it doesn't feel like a threat. Even fear of disappointing Jamila Warwick-Aida's captain and constant source of distraction-can't dissuade her.
Though it's impossible to tell what waits beneath the surface, nothing will turn Aida off the path now.
