    About this ebook

    Decades after an ecological disaster destroyed life on Earth, twenty brave souls flee their crowded space station in hopes of resurrecting a failed terraforming experiment on Mars. As expected, they find the planet abandoned, but in a startling turn of events the world has become an Edenic paradise. As they begin preparations to receive the last tattered remnants of Mankind, they soon begin to realize that the missing colonists who came here fifteen years earlier never actually left.

    And neither will they.

    They Dreamed of Poppies is an 8500-word novelette about the dangers of genetic experimentation, human extinction, and space exploration. Appropriate for readers of all ages.
