Fiction
For Lela White, a Houston sleep lab technician, sleep
doesn’t come easy—there’s a price to be paid for a poor
night’s sleep, and she’s the judge, jury, and executioner. Everyone around Lela considers her a private woman with a
passion for her lab work. But nighttime reveals her for what
she is: a woman on a critical secret mission. Lela lives in
the grip of a mental disorder that compels her to break into
astronauts’ homes to ensure they can sleep well and believes
that by doing so, she keeps the revitalized U.S. space
program safe from fatal accidents. What began at the age of
ten when her mother confessed to blowing up the space
shuttle has evolved into Lela’s life’s work. She dreads the
day when an astronaut doesn’t pass her testing, but she’s
prepared to kill for the greater good. When Zory Korchagin, a Russian cosmonaut on loan to the U.S.
shuttle program, finds himself drawn to Lela, he puts her
carefully-constructed world at risk of an explosion as
surely as he does his own upcoming launch. As Lela’s
universe unravels, no one is safe.
