   Summary

   Waking up twelve light-years from home with complete amnesia, an encrypted AI, and a dead crewmate was a nightmare—having Tony Stark along for the ride made it an existential circus. While Ryland and Tony pieced together the fractured memories of the world they left behind and the unspoken bond that kept them anchored through it all, they had to brace themselves for the reality of why they were sent to begin with: to solve the mystery of why the sun was dimming before Earth froze to death. But Tau Ceti wasn't entirely empty, and humanity wasn’t the only species desperately looking for a friend in the dark.
