Because just one planet away, on the dusty red world of Mars, there’s a mountain so colossal that Everest would barely reach a third of its height. Its name is Olympus Mons, and it stands 21 kilometers (13 miles) tall — the highest mountain known in our entire solar system.

The memory of my grandfather began to fade like a photograph left in the sun. It wasn't the big things at first; it was the small, precious details. The name of his favorite fishing spot.

The first time Alex and Sam hooked up, it followed a script they both vaguely knew by heart. It was a frantic, fumbling dance in the dark of Alex’s dorm room, a sequence of moves learned from a thousand stolen glimpses into a world where no one ever spoke.
