    Summary

    “Eye movement detected.”

     

    For Courtland and Colt, it's been the mere blink of an eye.

    For Ryland, it's been nearly eight months of fighting to survive in the situations he has found himself.

    So, when Court and Colt finally do wake up, mission completed, travelling away from Earth, and are faced with a brother who they don't quite recognise, how do they even begin to get back some semblance of normal? And more importantly, of family?

    Summary

    The Hail Mary has been shot out into the depths of the infinite void of space to search for an answer that may not even be there. Aboard, the three crew members lay in stasis as the ship hurtles like an arrow towards a distant star, with no hope of return, but a desperate hope to make things right.

    At home, two brothers are left in sudden and violent grief. A woman grapples with whether or not she made the right decision. The world strains and suffers under the weight of the coming Fimbulwinter.

    And then one of the beetles returns.

    Thirteen years early.

    Summary

    "Don't try to get up," Colt says. His voice is very even. "Stay right there, Ry. Just stay."

    The man between them looks almost bored, which is somehow the worst thing about him. He checks his watch. He looks at the door.

    Come on, Colt thinks. At no one. At the door. At the empty idea of rescue. Come on. Come on.

    He doesn't let himself think the name.

    He thinks it anyway.

    ---

    Or, getting kidnapped alongside Colt and Jody is not Ryland's preferred method of learning his long-dead older brother is actually alive.

    Summary

    Tommy Miller loves being an uncle. He always has. When his brother Joel and his niece Sarah move from Austin to Jackson after a rough year, Tommy thinks things might finally start looking up for all of them. He’s got a steady job, a wife he adores, a kid he’s raising as his own, and another on the way. For once, life feels settled.

    Then Sarah brings home a girl named Ellie Williams.

    At first, she’s just a name, a face at the edge of family dinners and weekend visits. But as the months pass, Tommy starts to see things that don’t sit right: bruises that don’t have explanations, eyes too tired for a kid her age, the kind of silence that hides something ugly. And before he knows it, the protective instinct that’s always made him the “fun uncle” starts turning into something else entirely: fear.

    Told month by month through Tommy’s eyes, this is a story about family, loyalty, and the quiet ways people save each other when no one else is watching.

    Summary

    For a brief moment, Joel almost laughs, a dark, angry laugh at the universe that he has suspected for years has been trying to take his youngest from him. Premature birth, slow to gain weight, a heart murmur, her mother’s wayward weekend, two cases of pneumonia, and a collection of broken/sprained bones and concussions from falling off things that only the most curious of kids manage to find themselves climbing on. He’d felt like he’d been part of some sick game of dodgeball, trying to move Ellie out of the way as each new calamity was hurled at them.

    Finally, it felt like they had come out on the other side. After almost three years of calm, Joel had started to think they’d made it; he'd won. He’d proven to the world that he should be allowed to keep his baby.

    But Joel got too comfortable, too complacent, and now Ellie’s paying the price.
