  Kenneth Taylor has bright plans for a future as an engineer. In the summer of 1957, as soon as he returns home to Bristol from two years of National Service in the Royal Signals, a furious row with his dad means he's thrown out of the house, and his prospects are in jeopardy.
  He finds lodgings in the hilltop, bomb-damaged suburb of Kingsdown, determined to be independent and juggling night school with his humdrum day job. He soon meets Gino, the good-looking son of a local café owner and is thrilled when the attraction proves to be mutual. As their romance blooms, Kenneth finds unexpected encouragement from an apparition in the mirror who inhabited the house in the late 18th century. 
  When the ghostly vision of Kit also appears to Kenneth in his dreams, it seems they have much in common when Kit reveals his dilemma at a similar age, concerning his growing attachment to a young man, Ned. Past and present intermingle as Kenneth faces parallel and difficult decisions. But can he trust Kit? Or is it all merely a trick of the light?

  It's the year 2098, and Terra, slightly different from Earth, has become a united planet. Air Force Lieutenant Tinker "Andy" Anderson has been recruited to the Space Force. He'll be one of an elite crew heading to Venus to rescue a previous disastrous exploration mission headed by Colonel Edward Pettigrew. The government wants Pettigrew, the sole survivor, brought back to Terra and court martialed.
  The mission is harrowing, but it's successfully completed, with Andy and Pettigrew developing feelings for each other on the hazardous return journey. However, while there's more to deal with back on Terra, Andy is told the court martial has been postponed and is given leave. What no one realizes is Andy has a second sense, and when it starts alerting him something is seriously wrong, he returns to Base. Sure enough, Pettigrew's court martial has never been delayed and is scheduled to begin the next day. Andy has some cards up his sleeve, though, and the phantom agency behind the entire disaster is foiled.
  Andy and the man he calls Best continue their military careers, but with the holidays fast approaching, will the one thing Andy wants most -- to be home for Christmas with his family and the man he loves -- be what he gets?
