   Summary

   It came from the sea. Though it lay still, and dead on the water, the man inside of it was neither of those things.

   Ryland Grace has gotten comfortable in his life on Erid. He had been ‘comfortable’ with his job and Earth once, too. Eventually comfort became boredom. Boredom became aimlessness.

   What do you do when you reach the stars and find yourself unsatisfied?

   He didn't have to wait long for an answer.

   He came from the sea.

   And he came out swinging.
