    Summary

    “Um, hello.” Rocky lifts a hand slowly. The rock spider chitters and attempts to lift one back. But it’s tangled in wire, and the force that the alien uses to tug it free sends his body reeling backwards and thumping against the side of the tunnel. Rocky tries to keep a straight face.

    “I’ll call you Grace,” he says. “Clearly you have plenty of it.”

    ...

    Rocky wakes up in the Tau Ceti system, with his commander and science specialist dead. How's he supposed to save Earth?

    Befriend the alien scientist he runs into, of course.

    Summary

    He catches a glimpse of himself in the small mirror across the room.

    It’s as if he’s been frozen in time. Nothing about him has changed since he last touched the surface of his home planet.

    But of course, that’s not true. Everything has changed.

    He doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know what this means. He’s a man of science. There are rules, immutable laws of the universe, no matter where in the universe one is. Entropy, decay, deterioration. Everything in the universe experiences it.

    Everything except him, it seems.

     

    Or: While on Erid, Ryland Grace makes a startling realization: he seems to have stopped aging.
