    Summary

    Grace,

    I am writing this because the alternative is continuing to have conversations with you in my head.

    The conversations are becoming irritating. You remain just as argumentative in imagination as you were in reality.

    The world survived.

    I assume that is the first thing you would want to know.

    Stratt writes to Grace

    Summary

    On Erid, Ryland Grace has spent decades building a new life among the Eridians beside his closest friend, Rocky. But while humans grow old, Eridians do not understand aging the same way—and for the first time, Rocky is forced to confront the terrifying idea of losing someone he loves.

    As Grace begins to reflect on time, death, and the life he left behind, the two friends find themselves facing a truth neither science nor logic can solve: some bonds become so deeply woven into our existence that even the thought of absence feels unbearable.

    Summary

    In linguistics, a false friend is a word in a different language that sounds similar to a word in your own, but differs significantly in meaning. No word in any Eridian language could possibly be mistaken for English. But Erid absolutely has false friends.

    In his right mind, Grace would easily identify the mistaken assumptions inhibiting his integration on Erid. They are:

    1: A molecular biologist and a sapient rock can cobble together translation software that reflects the etymological nuance of an entire alien language.
    2: Eridians are enough like humans to have an area 51 and look forward to using it.

    Unfortunately, Grace hasn’t been in his right mind in years.

    Or: a ‘Return to Erid’ story where Grace struggles to touch down alone.

    Summary

    Four years after the Hail Mary launched into space, blockbuster director Jody Moreno is approached with the offer to direct a documentary about the international effort to save the sun from extinction. Her problem? No one knows that her husband is the twin brother of the last-minute-astronaut, Ryland Grace.

    Colt Seavers hasn't spoken about his middle-school-teacher-turned-astronaut brother since the Hail Mary launched. He's more than happy to fly under the radar, live his life, and try to forget. Until, that is, his wife starts filming a documentary all about said brother. And there are things that no one, not even Colt, knows about the project. Until they come to light.
