A Candle For Malka is a bit of a hybrid beast; part cosmic horror, part science fiction... and all heart, dealing with a future where the Earth's natural resources have been depleted and—not content with destroying our own planet—big business is now expanding its search for oil further out into the solar system. The story is told from the viewpoints of a brother and sister, Malka and Bram Schulman, as each seek to navigate the results of one such expedition, to Europa. Except this story is so much more than that. It's a story about family, faith, strength, greed and where it takes us...A Candle for Malka is a novella to be proud of.
