Lifetime (Unabridged‪)‬

Survival. Desperation.

You may be wealthy, you may be influential, even popular... but just because you're successful at life doesn't mean you're necessarily successful at everything. Those things don't protect you from everything fate might have in store for you.

This is exactly the case for Harald and Virian Vanderbilt - an entrepreneurial couple, happily married, who run their deep-space prospecting company together, building a small business empire.

Then one day they're unexpectedly separated when the ship Virian is on board is lost during a prospecting voyage. Harald spares no effort or expense and launches a desperate attempt to find her. He immediately sets out on another ship to mount a rescue.

Meanwhile, on a remote planet, surrounded by wreckage and the bodies of her crewmates, Virian has survived, treated her injuries, and is fighting to stay alive while she awaits rescue...

Will Harald find her? Will he ever see her again? Will he be in time? Will she be okay?

Sometimes not knowing is better.
