   Summary

   Simon wanted to be free. He wanted his nightmare to be over. But he could not be so lucky.

   Even after what should have been the final showdown, he cannot be let free. The Eye of an ignorant god needs a new vessel. If it is to know the universe, it needs a new pinhole to peer through.

   Now Simon must find a way to be free of the entity that has taken refuge within him, ignore the voices of a pilot and engineer in his head, and keep Dr. Ryland Grace safe during his mission.

   ~*~*~

   Simon survives by the will of the god in the Red Void, but it isn't so simple. He wakes on the Hail Mary before it has reached Tau Ceti, tracking in death and cosmic horror, trapping the minds of Commander Yao and Engineering Specialist Ilyukhina within his mind. Now all he can do to redeem himself is make sure Dr. Grace can complete his mission and die in peace.
