This is our fourth round-robin. The first three (which produced stories called Making Good Time, The Reef Builders, and The Darcy Bee) were a lot of fun, and we hope this one will be, too.

This is how it works: I asked four professional writers if they'd like to write a science fiction story online and with whom they would like to work. This time the four authors will be Kelley Eskridge, Graham Joyce, Ed Bryant, and Kathe Koja. Each writer will add an (approximately) 500-word post, once a week. Enjoy.
