Marvin Tinker was sentenced to a penitentiary world for a crime he doesn't remember committing. Food? Shelter? Check. Survival? Open to interpretation. Death? Was no longer relevant. To compensate, mutations were rampant: physical, mental and moral. Elemental energies could be harnessed, if one was willing to risk their humanity to procure it. Escape? A startling discovery revitalized the possibility.

Samantha Lyger killed her father. It stopped the abuse, but in compensation she was sentenced to a penitentiary world. She was able to protect herself from the predominantly male culture, but not from the dynamic environment. There were infinite ways to die and she was death prone. Death was temporary, but in exchange for modifications to her appearance and psyche. Would an equilibrium be reached before she lost the last remnants of her femininity?

George Seward was a dirty accountant, who was sent to a penitentiary world for embezzling from his client's retirement accounts. Money was just a tool. You didn't give someone a life sentence for stealing a few---million---hammers and wrenches. Not doing a day of hard labor in his life, it was not only going to be a challenge to acclimate, to a pre-industrialized society, but to survive. Change isn't always detrimental. It creates opportunities. Intellectual epiphanies, but also physical transformations. The key was navigating through life without losing your soul.

Lynn was a galactic agent. Her current mission was to investigate unpredicted events on Dartmoor, a penitentiary world. The difficulty would be in returning. Life sentences didn't require evacuation apparatuses. The remnants of terraforming made the planet's inhabitants susceptible to physical, intellectual, and moral, transformations. There were advantages of being a cat, especially when one was the high priestess of a divine manifestation. But once a galactic agent, always a galactic agent: adapt, but not alter, until the next mission.

YELLOWSTONE, the world's first national park, is the backdrop for Steve Harrison's journey to find a direction for his life after his father died. Geysers and grizzlies. Buffalo stampedes and skinny dipping. If that epiphany didn't come, it was still a great place to spend a summer. To become one with all the WONDERS OF THE WILDERNESS.

To escape the violence of the city, Jimi Jackson spends the WINTER in YELLOWSTONE, the world's first national park. In her attempt to reinvent herself, she must not only navigate ambiguous relationships and shared bathrooms, but also subzero temperatures, scalding pools and a Nordic commute. In discovering we are FLEAS UPON SNOW, she creates a philosophy that not only changes herself, but potentially, the world.
