  Summary

  So - there was good news, and there was strange news.

  The good news was that the Time Go Fishing went off way better than either Rocky or Grace were anticipating.

  The strange news was that not only did the container catch a hearty helping of the predator killing the Astrophage, but also a small… Ship? Submarine? What?!

  For my fellow freaks, the big spice chap is on 38. Do with that as you will. *salutes*

  Summary

  “Hello, this is Simon Mariason-Grace. You know me by The Convict. This is a message for Ava in the COI colony. I need help to get my husband back.”

  Eden comes calling one day, and both men expect them to try to take Simon back.

  What they don’t expect is for them to take Grace.

  A what if story that wouldn’t leave my brain until it was written.
