A short story set in the universe of The Luck of Han'anga.
The Commonwealth's grand star liner Edwin Teale has entered Leyra'an space on a mission of cultural exchange. Among ship's passengers is Martin Russman, a man scarred by memories he has tried very hard to erase. Martin is a Relic, a man who has lived through most of the Commonwealth's history. But even with all of that history crowding his memory, can he escape the shadows of his own past when history begins to repeat itself?
