On the tiny, frozen world of Frostbite, Rogan Tyso is the Mailmail,
responsible for the communications array that keeps his home in
contact with the other human Refuges scattered across known space.
It has been a century since the Cluster--the great union of
Earth-like colonies--fell to an alien race known only as the
Flense, and human civilization has been reduced to an afterthought.
Rogan's correspondence with Nathe Mylan, a man thousands of light
years away, offers him both the possibility of a love he has never
found, and a chance to work on a project that may help humanity
escape the influence of the Flense for good.
In the year 2000, Stephen Graham King was diagnosed with a rare,
aggressive cancer known as synovial sarcoma, beginning a four-year
ordeal of radiation, chemotherapy, physiotherapy, and multiple
recurrences. After having trouble with his left knee for much of
his adult life, King finally saw a doctor following a bump to the
leg that almost made him pass out from the excruciating pain. After
the diagnosis, he endured five major, invasive surgeries that cost
him a large portion of his left leg and half of his left lung,
radically changing his body, mind, and self-image forever. And in
the end, forcing him to relearn many things: some as basic as
re-learning how to walk. As a gay man who is part of an
image-conscious subculture within our image-driven society, he was
forced to confront his feelings about his body on the long road
back to health. Now, in Just Breathe, King shares his journey from
health to illness and back to health again through prose and
journal entries written during the battle. Told with candour and
humour, this is the story of his challenging recovery and the love
of life, friends, and family that helped him to survive.
