    Summary

    Ryland doesn't know where he is, what he's doing, or why he's doing it. All he knows is that he's in a universe with no stars and that an organization called the COI found the Hail Mary spinning out into deep space. He knows that Rocky may be injured somewhere, and he knows that the man that currently lays in a hospital bed in front of him should be dead as dirt but has miraculously survived.

    He knows he has been given an ultimatum. Find out what brought Simon back to life or never see Rocky again.

    The task proves more complicated than he thought.

    Summary

    "Ava," Grace turns to the radio, heart heavy. "I don't think we can bring your stars back."

    There's a long silence, only interrupted by the crackling static of interstellar transmission.

    "You said the stars where you are are cured?"

    "From the astrophage? Yeah. But-"

    "Then we don't need to bring my stars back," Ava decides, her voice full of steely conviction. "We just need to bring my people to where the stars are."

    -

    Or Ryland can't stand not knowing if the probes made it back and saved humanity, so he calls Earth, and someone picks up. Someone from the wrong Earth. And Simon is sent into deep space on a one-man mission to see the stars

    Summary

    The last five years living on Erid had been some of the happiest of Simon's life. He felt safe, happy, fulfilled, and had people he felt genuinely cared for him. Simon was sure that his perfect life was about to crumble when Rocky returned with another human. Where all Simon has ever known on Erid is compassion, his experience with humanity had rarely been so kind

    Summary

    After ramming the sub straight into the Light, Simon wakes up on a strange spaceship with no memory of how he got there. The state of the Hail Mary -spacious, clean, bright and comfortable- can only lead to one conclusion: Simon has somehow been picked up by one of the highest-ranking leaders of the C.O.I.

    Luckily, Dr. Grace doesn't seem to recognize him, buying Simon enough time to hatch yet another desperate plan for survival before his identity is discovered. In the meantime, Simon tries his best to stay in the man's good graces (no pun intended), but he's hardly known for his charming personality.

    Both of them are in for a bumpy ride.
