    Summary

    In the Iron Lung, among the roots of a tree that was to never see the Sun, the Convict was dying. He didn't want to. But for one thing to live, another always had to die. Trees grew from soil, and soil was rot, and rot was the child of death. That was the ultimate circle of life.

    or

    In his final moments, Simon prays, and the Universe answers his prayer.

    Summary

    “This okay?” Simon muttered, the vibrations from his words rippling across Grace’s stomach.

    “Yes… yes I just…” Grace struggled to catch his breath. “This was not how I was expecting tonight to go.”

    Simon paused his kisses. “How did you see this going?”

    “I don’t know. We would… talk about it?”

    “Do you want to talk instead?”

    Grace couldn’t even remember what he wanted to say. Actually, there were no words that described what he wanted. “No. No, keep going.”

    Or Eridians find Simon's submarine while spreading Astrophage to the galaxy and bring him back to Erid. Grace has to change his normal routine to help this new human adjust to life. Slowly, they get to know one another, despite Simon potentially being a war criminal from a moon with an ocean full of blood. But there's just something else about Simon that Grace can't shake, and he's pretty sure Simon feels it too...

    Summary

    When Captain Doctor Ryland Grace of the Hail Mary and his engineer Rocky come across an eerie, bloody submarine floating in deep space on their way back to Erid, they figure it must be some kind of abandoned space junk. They don't have the fuel or resources to spare in order to confirm their suspicions. It seems like a perfectly reasonable conclusion, up until the moment they receive a distress signal from the ship's radiation gun.

    Grace and Rocky figure the ride home was going to be pretty boring without a pet project, anyway.

    Simon was not supposed to live.

    Neither was Ryland Grace.

    Summary

    There's 1 in 70,000 people on the planet who have the gene needed to survive the Hail Mary's expedition. In that limited pool, 1 in maybe 1000 had the necessary skills needed for the mission — more dire still, even less people were willing to volunteer for what is essentially a suicide mission.

    When an explosion killed not only their science officers but also their engineers, Eva Stratt makes the tough decision to put 2 people on the spacecraft that no one was expecting to be even be candidates.

    One is a middle-school science teacher.

    One is a convicted eco terrorist.
