    Summary

    His brother sounds rushed and harried, and despite the knowledge that Ryland is always rushed and harried, it automatically puts Colt on edge. “Nothing bad, just–” Colt hears Ryland’s voice go muffled, like he covered the mic with his hand. He’s shouting over to someone that he’ll be back out in just a second. “–just, can you pick Court up?”

    What? “Of course,” Colt says, “but I thought he was supposed to be at the park ‘til five?”

    “Yeah, I just got a call from Sarah–she’s the one supervising–she told me that Court got hurt so she’d rather someone pick him up early.”

     

    Following the absolute shitshow that was their father's death, Ryland is just trying to keep them afloat, Colt wants nothing more than to help, and Court is just trying his best to keep his head down.

    Summary

    Krat is a city of tomorrow, where mechanical marvels are as common as grains of sand on our beaches. Plentiful as the goods we receive in its ports. We invite you, a watchmaker, engineer or dreamer. We have plenty of gold to share.
    Come visit our gilded streets, enjoy the fruits of our labour.
    -Workshop Tower with support from the Alchemists of the Isle

    He hadn’t seen Carlo for about a month. He wasn’t attending lessons, training sessions. Romeo wasn’t allowed to enter his father's home. He was hospitalised, he says now. Spent a couple weeks in nauseatingly sterile rooms, barely conscious on pain killers, his arm gone. Not giving signs of life. He is here now; Romeo reminds himself. Changed, tired, holding a hand of a child Romeo never saw in his life. He says it's his brother. One he either forgot to mention or was too painful to acknowledge. Weak blood, had to send the kid away to hopefully gain some strength. Romeo believes that. Maybe he shouldn’t, blinded like so many. Too focused on the flowers to see the thorns. Maybe the scent is buried too deep, maybe the thorns already infect his bones. He doesn’t mind anyway

    Summary

    Roche limit: the distance from a celestial body within which a second celestial body, held together only by its own force of gravity, will disintegrate because the first body's tidal forces exceed the second body's self-gravitation.

     
    As the distance between the Hail Mary and Erid shrinks, as the language and cultural barriers disappear, Grace's health deteriorates and Rocky's worries skyrocket. Scurvy, cabin fever, malnutrition, tension and arguments – their friendship is put to the test when they are faced with challenges they cannot science their way out of. When a sudden Taumoeba emergency disrupts their journey just as they are about to reach Erid's radio range, they are forced to take a detour to Threeworld's Petrova-line to prevent Grace from starving to death. It's one thing to complete a mission when at full capacity… but how do you tackle obstacles you cannot fix with math and engineering?

    Summary

    It’s been nearly 27 years since Eva Stratt forced Ryland Grace to board the Hail Mary and sent him off to his death for the greater good of mankind. Meanwhile, Eva and the Project Hail Mary team have been fighting a losing battle against the cooling sun—and their own demons—trying to make sure there were still people to be saved by the time the crew could send a solution home. Right on schedule, the beetles are returning to Earth, hopefully with the answer to saving the world. But Eva has something else to worry about; there’s every possibility Ryland Grace’s last words would be coming home, and all the time in the world couldn’t make her ready to face the consequences of her actions, or what will happen when her colleagues find out what she did to their friend.
    It was time to find out if it was worth it for her to sacrifice Grace, and her soul, to save humanity. And to find out if she was ready to face him after all these years…
