Two questions form the foundation of all novels: ‘What if?’ and ‘What next?’ (A third question, ”What now?’, is one the author asks himself every 10 minutes or so, but it’s more a cry than a question.) Every novel begins with the speculative question, ‘What if ‘X’ happened?’ That’s how you start.
Tom Clancy
Martian Sylvestine Amera is no novice when it comes to managing a hotel. Syl is of an Earth background, while her fiancee, Dedare Sath, is from the planet Irion. He entices her to the planet Particle where a new world for Syl and a newly acquired alien hotel awaits. Dedare hopes Syl will agree to manage the Sath-Ooby Golden hotel.
What if this adventure is far too alien for Syl?
