Mirabile is a collection of linked short stories about a group of humans who have traveled to a distant planet and established a colony there.
They’ve brought seeds and plants from Earth designed to mutate and adapt to on-the-ground conditions… but some of them mutate a lot! Annie “Jason” Masmajean is a middle-aged “Jason,” a scientist who hunts harmful mutations, and her story is beautifully told.
