    About this ebook

    The Final Oblivion was far larger than Dana expected. Sure, she'd known that her cousin Esme had been assigned to a big one but she hadn't expected a full solar system sized station. Just the human habitat was the size of Earth's moon.

    What she had expected was that Esme would refuse to come to the family reunion. Wasn't disappointed there. Annoyed. Not disappointed.

    Getting Esme's butt off the station and onto a transport for home wasn't as easy as showing up, though. There were problems that needed fixing and Dana would fix them if that was what it took.

    No way was she going to the reunion if Esme wasn't.

    Avoiding the Reunion is a funny SF short story that queer women are sure to laugh at and love for years to come.

      Avoiding the Reunion

      The Final Oblivion was far larger than Dana had expected. Easily three quarters the size of the solar system with habitat globes suspended in a shining framework that connected and controlled each one's access to the others, each with its own landing bay and quarantine procedures. Dana could see the inner network, just faintly, between the globe-like habitats. That looked like a neural net spread out at the largest size.

      Sankam had built that, the so-called 'small machine minds' that had helped Esme save all the races, all the species and worlds in the galaxy, from the parasitic Xr'x. Dana still wasn't sure if the framework was the Sankam or if they'd integrated with it. Hard to tell the difference when one was dealing
