   Summary

   A god watches the Hail Mary burn into Adrian's atmosphere, it ruined one reality, perhaps it can save this one. Simon is reality shifted onto the Hail Mary just before it arrives at Tau Ceti to fill the role of pilot and complete the trio. How can he explain his presence to Dr. Ryland Grace when Simon himself doesn't understand how he got here? Can he prevent the ship from crashing and help Grace and Rocky save the stars?

    

   The incompletion of the trio bugged me and the parallels are too good so here.
   this is a weird combination of book and movie Grace, don't question it.
