    Summary

    The math just isn't adding up.

    Six months after Ryland Grace arrived on Erid, Sol's luminance has been fully restored. Did they solve the Petrova problem without him? Was his life thrown away for nothing?

    With confirmation that Earth has been saved the question about whether or not Grace will go home is happening decades sooner then planned. Where even is home anymore?

    Summary

    Of all the things Ryland Grace expected when he returned to Earth with an Eridian delegation in tow, NASA asking him to pick up a lost astronaut from Mars wasn't one of them. Mark Watney definitely wasn't expecting to arrive at Schiaparelli Crater to find out that his lift home wasn't going to be the Hermes after all. Thrown together by circumstance and struggling to find their place in a world that seems foreign to both of them, two once-lost astronauts find common ground and hope for a future, together.

    Summary

    It’s been twenty-five (or maybe sixty?) years, and Ryland Grace is cruising back into the Sol system, trying to notify Earth that he’s still alive and bringing a couple of aliens home with him.
    It’s been five hundred and seventy-five Sols, and Mark Watney is stranded in a dust storm, trying to notify Earth that he’s still alive and probably never making it home at this point. He wasn’t expecting a Hail Mary.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace has been home on Earth for four months. Earth is safe, Erid is Safe. Humanity survived. So why does he still feel stranded somewhere in the dark?

    Sleepless nights, panic attacks, and memories he can't escape make coming home harder than he ever imagined.

    Then his therapist mentions a former student: Mark Watney, the boy Ryland remembers as a sarcastic seventh grader who grew up to survive eighteen months alone on Mars.

    Maybe they have something to talk about.

    What begins as an email between a former teacher and his long-ago student becomes an unexpected friendship between two men who understand what it means to survive the impossible.

    And maybe, after all that distance, they've finally found a place to land.
