    Summary

    It had been a long and difficult 27 years since the Hail Mary had launched. Not as terrible as it could have been, but not easy. Humanity had survived and adapted, as it always did. There had been terrible wars. There had been incredible acts of kindness. There had been massive scientific breakthroughs. And now, there were two distant blips of Petrova-light, picked up by the Deep Space Network, hurtling home. Two probes, braking hard as they hurtled toward Earth holding the secrets to its salvation. They were late, or at least, not very early, but they were here.

    Grace may have made his peace with dying to save Rocky, but Rocky insists they return to Earth.

    Summary

    Camp Campbell didn’t teach Max respect, or manners, or—well, anything his parents wanted it to teach him. Instead, it taught him how to ruin a society of children with a handful of candy, how to build a trebuchet capable of launching rocks through David’s head (and how to make those rocks miss). It taught him that maybe, just maybe, some people are worth caring about—and it taught him that those same people are capable of caring about him, too.

    Max supposes that’s why he finds himself dialing David’s number in the middle of the night with shaking fingers and a bloody nose.

    Summary

    Danny doesn't really expect his alliance with Red to be reciprocal anymore. He likes her; she hates him. That's just the way things are, and that's why he doesn't bother crying out when Valerie watches him get dragged away. Phantom would never let Red take a hit; Red wouldn't spit on him if he was on fire.

    But maybe they don't have to be that way. Maybe this time, when he faces a fate far worse than death, Red will come for him.
