They are all survivors of this virus-plagued world. They are all "breathers."

Written by Terry Blas and Molly Muldoon. Art and cover by Matthew Seely.

Deep in the Oregon wilderness sits Camp Bloom, a weight-loss camp where "overweight" teens can "get in shape." Jesse would rather be anywhere else, but her parents are forcing her to go. Noah isn't sure if he wants to be there, but it's too late to turn back. Tony is heartbroken at the thought of giving up his phone and internet. And Kate... well, she likes the hikes, at least. As far as these four teens are concerned, it's just another boring summer. Until one night, when Jesse and Noah witness a beloved counselor's murder. The body's gone by the next morning, but a blurry photo leads to one clue-the murderer is one of the camp's staff members! But which one? As Jesse, Noah, Kate, and Tony investigate, they quickly discover that everyone's got their secrets... and one of them would kill to keep theirs hidden.

Planet story is an ebullient space opera in which the world of Strabismus is invaded by an immense automatic track laying robot which slams down railway lines across the planet through the city, forest, and steppelands and rolling farmland, providing access for the United States of Earth to a rich mineral deposit. A gold-plated Union Pacific "Big Boy" engine, the modified toy of Admiral Soddy, tears down the track pulling it's carriages and a motley crew of troopers, with young Private Parrts and his delectable girlfriend Styreen, providing the heroic and love interest. Their heart-stopping adventures and close shaves as they encounter the unpredictable and dissembling natives of Strabiismus, carry the story along at a cracking pace, but beneath the action-packed surface is the darker seam of parable of the crassness of invading forces everywhere and the infectiousness of violence.
