    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.

    Summary

    When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
    She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.

    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.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is a young priest in Ottawa. He is a man built of discipline. Routine steadies him. Ritual contains him. Parishioners trust him. Families linger. Women blush when he talks to them. He wears his collar like a uniform that frees him from choice, from vanity, from uncertainty. He believes his vows and routines have resolved him into something whole, something steady. But Ilya Rozanov is about to trigger an earthquake.

    Ilya Rozanov is an arrogant womanizer. Or so the media thinks. No one knows why he left Boston. He wants a change of pace. The parties, the women, the men, became too much for him. He thinks he believes in God. But God took his mother. God gave his shitty father dementia. God made his brother an asshole. God made him a bisexual man in Russia. But God also introduced him to Father Shane Hollander.

    Or: Shane is priest. Here comes Ilya.

    Nothing is covered up that will not be uncovered, and nothing secret that will not become known.
