    Summary

    It’s been twenty-four years since the Hail Mary set off for Tau Ceti. The Sierra program is long dead, and Courtland Gentry has Eva Stratt in his crosshairs.

    As Jody goes into surgery to save their daughter’s life, Colt Seavers feels as alone as the day he found out his twin brother had been sent to another solar system.

    Nearly three hundred thousand miles above the Earth’s surface, Ryland Grace hears another human voice for the first time in eight dilated years. It’s not who he expects.

    or, the motion of three brothers through space, time, and gravity.

    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

    ABSTRACT: Months into their journey to Erid, Grace decides to pass the time and distract his wandering mind by writing a scientific paper. Considering his track record, it’s safe to say that absolutely nothing can go wrong with that.

    Summary

    “Rocky, I’m here, okay? Come back to me, pal, please.”

    Of course I will, I think, drawn to that voice, that strange, wobbling voice, which I care about without knowing exactly why, and I should – it makes me angry, not knowing – I should know –
