   Summary

   A combination of the Iron Lung universe and Project Hail Mary universe!
   Mars was colonized. Eden was established. Astrophage threatened life.
   Earth sent a ship out to solve the issue. Eden sent a ship out to hunt it down.
   Simon and five of his brothers are tasked with rising against the enemies of Eden, destroying the Hail Mary, and ensuring the human hands attempting to stay the hand of God are brought to ruin. The Rapture is coming. Father saw it. The death of the sun is only the beginning. All will end. All will be made new.
   Ryland Grace doesn't even know he's running for his life. He's barely holding himself together as he tries to figure out who he is, what he's doing, and how to communicate with an alien he's made friends with. Just as things are looking up, a Martian ship arrives. It looked like it was headed right for him, but then... it turned. Rocky claims there is one living person on board. Alone, just like him. Strange, frightening, but desperately in need of his help.
