A collection of ten short stories and a novella that fit into and circle around the CHEMICAL universe. Tom and Anja weren't meant to be - at least that was what they thought, until their individual roads through life detoured and merged with all the intense passion of a meteor hitting the atmosphere. These stories chronicle the beginning of their incredible romance through the observant eyes of their friends - and each other - with some telling insight into their personal histories and the events that brought them into each other's worlds. Includes the novella PENUMBRALUNA - the tragic and heartwarming story of the relationship between two boys whose influences on each other's lives lasted forever and shaped their futures, making them into the men we loved in CHEMICAL VOLUME ONE and CHEMICAL VOLUME TWO.
