Summary
Nothing weird ever happens to Fiona Peterson. She isn't psychic, was never part of a secret government agency, from another dimension, a cat, or a time-travelling robot. She's just a girl in a band and has been struggling to cope with the outbreak of the almost-apocalypse while on tour. She's fought drunk people, zombies, and the occasional vampire, but she's still just an ordinary person when compared to the people around her; her manager in particular, Linus, happens to be a god. So while it may not be surprising when a dead prom queen shows up one night to give Fee a cryptic message about Linus, it is a shock when she wakes up back in the office she thought she'd left far, far behind. And after that, there's the world where some of her closest friends are now vampires and she's about to turn into one. Or the world where she's a superhero. The unifying thing in all these worlds is that Linus isn't his usual self, and if he doesn't remember how to be a god, there's a good chance that the universe will crumble. Fiona has no idea how to save the universe (or save the guy who can save the universe), but she's going to have to figure it out if she ever wants to go home.

Summary
Alex Porter, captain of the LS Nemesis is the person you go to when you need things retrieved, found, or delivered in a discreet and not necessarily legal way. She's also dying. The drug addiction inflicted on her by a former lover is finally taking its toll, and Alex wants to tie up the loose ends in her life, just in case the last ditch attempt at recovery. Taking on one last job seems like a good way to leave her crew with a big payoff and go out on a high note. Especially if the job is something as easy as attempting to find the long lost ship Pathos Verdes. On a job where half the cash is up front, they can take the money and run (hello, pirates) or see it through for a payday beyond imagination. Either way, it sounds like an easy job, right?
When the job turns out to be more complicated than it, and things go from bad to worse to "oh god, oh god, we're all gonna die," everyone will have to work together to get out alive. Along the way, they'll also have to deal with their feelings, evil experiments, bad memories, misguided jealousy, and giant sparkly space squids.
