The forgotten paradise

from Wondering Worlds Hosted by Bryon Best

Scott Stanton has spent years drifting from one salvage job to the next, pulling valuable scraps from abandoned ships and forgotten corners of the galaxy. A vacation has never been part of the plan. But when a mysterious alien artifact sends his freighter off course, Scott crash lands on Kepler Bay, a breathtaking tropical world unlike anything he's ever seen. With crystal forests, glowing wildlife, warm turquoise seas, and three moons lighting up the night sky, the strange planet invites him to slow down for the first time in years. As his unexpected stay turns into a journey of quiet discovery, Scott begins to realize that the greatest treasures aren't always found inside derelict starships. Sometimes they're found in places that remind us to stop chasing the next destination and simply enjoy where we are. A cozy, heartfelt science fiction adventure about wonder, rest, and finding home in the most unexpected corners of the universe.
