Summary
One of the main characters - the only surviving witness to a murder - has just woken from a coma. Not only is she entirely cognizant, but the first thing that the subtitles say she asks for is a lawyer.
“What are you fucking giggling about?”
The other person that’s been paying attention is Flambae. He’s right next to Robert on the couch, his arm slung over the top behind his head. One foot is propped up on the other knee, also pointing towards Robert, which has him caged in the corner by the arm rest. It’s probably some fucked-up power move. Robert has been ignoring it just to spite him.
“It’s just not how comas work,” Robert shrugs.
“Right, and you know because you’re a fucking doctor,” Flambae quips back.
“I know because I was in one, asshole.”
------
During a quiet night in, Robert realizes that his coma and injuries aren't common knowledge among Z-Team.
Most of them take the information in stride with jokes aplenty.
Flambae does not.

Summary
A long epic saga for Curly, Anya, Daisuke, and Swansea. This story takes place in the Mouthwashing universe, 4 months after the death of the crew- and their eventual return.
It is the year 2263. The Tulpar's stranding became a publicized event galaxy-wide. An expedition was planned for its retrieval and rescue. A military vessel, Argonaut II, docks the ship and investigates the interior for clues on what occurred. Finding the mummified bodies of the crew, they quickly whisk them onto the Argonaut II.
Curly undergoes Reformation, and is restored with a new physical body. He suffers from the mental and physical trauma of his past, yet nothing prepares him as he comes to find out his crewmates were brought back through revivification. The ship's commander, Captain Hawkes, sits him down to explain the events of the last 2 months that led to this phenomenon at length.
On the horizon, dozens of nations scheme, their sights set on Canaris for personal gain, whilst other interests abroad forge political schemes. The crew of Tulpar joins the Argonaut II as they embark on a journey of adventure, self-discovery, exploration and danger to make the most out of the second life that was granted to them. A 3-book epic.

Summary
His alarm clock woke him up from a dreamless night. With a heavy hand, Eddie unsuccessfully tries to turn off the device. A groan comes out of his pursed lips as his hand falls on his face. His eyes open. He watches the ceiling of his little room for a few moments, before getting up from the bed he had lived in for two months now. Outside, the sun is already burning the windows, and the heat is choking the little air around him. Leaving New York for San Francisco could have been a good idea, if the change had not been made in the middle of summer.
Or the one where Eddie meets his daughter's teacher, Richie
