Colony 3: A Time Monks Novella on Submission (~14000 words)

One step forward, one step back.

Fleeing her fanatical family, a young woman joins a group of cynical astronauts in their quest to find intelligent alien life. What they discover on a remote planet forces them to reevaluate all the choices they’ve ever made. 
Although Colony 3 is set in the world of The Time Monks Trilogy, it is told from a distinctly different point of view.
