This short story is a backstory for the character seen accompanying the Rani in Dimensions in time.

On a deserted sandy planet the writing  paints a vivid and engaging description of all the misfortune that fall upon the lead character in this unforgiving world. It was definitely one of those stories I did not want to put down, even to write notes for this review.

I will say a lot of things that happen go unexplained, which left me confused but not in a bad way. I could see that being more a negative thing for other people though.

Definitely read this only if you’ve watched dimensions in time first, because without that context you’ll be left even more confused.
