set
far
in
the
future
on
a
planet
colonized
millennia
ago
by
humans
determined
to
live
without
technology.

plagues,

and
customs
they
follow, drive them to extinction. One leader steps forward to change paths.

appeared
on

other
side
with
no
memory
of
his
past;
eagle
tattoo
and

shallow
hints.
History
of

their
thoughts,
emotions,
even
glimpses
of
their
future,

head
though.

battles
monotony,
searches
for
purpose.

meddling
endangers
the
lives
of
those
he
tries
to
help,
generates
ire
in
his
fellow
spirits.
A
dude-lit
un-romance,
a
tale
of
career
gone
wrong, with a tad of humor and suspense.

tangentially
connected,

women
he

it's
hard
not
to
notice
they're
drop-dead
gorgeous),
have
decided
they
don’t
want
to
be
just
friends.

a
couple
others
who

make
him
a
daily

too.
He
strives
to
avoid
what
they
consider
inevitable
as
they
all
become
harder
to
ignore.
It’s
all
a
guy
can
do
to
stay
sane,
while making it to the gym every night.
