    Summary

    I don’t think the mission was a failure. I don’t think Rocky’s dead — I can’t bring myself to believe that. They’re alive. Oh, Universe. Please say Rocky’s alive.

    It’s been just over 600 (eridian) years since Rocky left. The crew was assumed dead long ago; the mission, declared a failure. But when a dim light reads on the petrovascopes, it’s all Adrian can do not to cry out in joy. The whole planet is carapace-deep in celebration…until they realise that — oh, goodness — that’s not the original ship; and they get word that everything has gone so, so terribly wrong.

    Summary

    “Um, hello.” Rocky lifts a hand slowly. The rock spider chitters and attempts to lift one back. But it’s tangled in wire, and the force that the alien uses to tug it free sends his body reeling backwards and thumping against the side of the tunnel. Rocky tries to keep a straight face.

    “I’ll call you Grace,” he says. “Clearly you have plenty of it.”

    ...

    Rocky wakes up in the Tau Ceti system, with his commander and science specialist dead. How's he supposed to save Earth?

    Befriend the alien scientist he runs into, of course.

    Summary

    Brave, self-sacrificing, heroic.  

    These are words Rocky might associate with the human he befriended.  

    Heck, these are words I associated with myself up until a few months ago.   

    And we’d have been right…if it weren’t for the facts.  

    You know, those pesky things that get in the way of misconceptions and assumptions? 

    Yeah, those.  

    How exactly are you supposed to explain that to your best friend who thinks the galaxy of you?
