Who Is the Curator?
And why is the Curator's body in a high-tech cargo container filled with priceless works of art?
When a salvage ship stumbles on the debris sphere of a long lost colony transport, they're not expecting to find much. Spotting an intact cargo container within the debris, they're surprised. Especially when they discover it's still got power.Inside, a skeleton in a spacesuit, immediately dubbed The Curator. And hundreds of lost, priceless paintings. All maintained at safe temperatures by an onboard fusion generator.
Who is the Curator? How did the Curator survive the explosion that destroyed the transport? Knowing that rescue was impossible, why did the Curator spend the last few months of dwindling life support writing stories about the paintings?
In this unique anthology, nine writers take inspiration from real paintings, included in this volume, to explore the life and final days of...the Curator.
