    Summary

    At some point between arriving on Erid, emaciated and delirious, and starting up his classroom, Dr Captain Ryland Grace had become a global sensation.
    His actions, unbeknownst to him, triggered cultural waves that, to the humour of Saviour-Rocky, and the glee of the management team at the Centre For Human-Eridian Friendship, introduced trends with unprecedented efficiency and reach.

     

    Or: Grace is unwittingly a cultural icon, baby he’s bigger than Madonna.

    Summary

    Popular tales in Eridian folklore include a long, lanky creature that cracks the carapaces of those who enter the ocean.
    So when Erid’s saviour returns in a small, foreign spaceship, missing 23 crewmates, and presenting a creature with an uncanny resemblance to their cautionary tales, Erid is, understandably, horrified.

    Yet at some point, somehow, the creature had found its way into the hearts of Eridians, and the grotesque alien from the unknown of space became a beloved teacher of their most vulnerable.

    Or: Erid learns to love Grace.

    Summary

    After the Taumoeba leak, after I decided to die after all and turned my ship around to save Rocky, after Rocky's frantic calculations about food supplies, Taumoeba multiplication rates, and human caloric intake needs, after we realized that with some rationing and luck I would make it, but that we were headed toward the unknown territory of trying to rapid-prototype me a life support system and synthetic food supply on an inhospitable planet: after all of that, after everything, I shouldn't have been surprised that it only took a few months on board the Hail Mary for things to get weird.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is having A Week. First he is practically kidnapped from his place of work, sent into one of the finest labs he has ever been in, and told he is going to be first contact with an alien.

    Except he's already been first contact with an alien. It's just that no one knows that.

    Confused, curious, and with minimal supervision, Ryland Grace makes the breakthrough of the century. What he doesn't know is that he's about to become a part of something much bigger. In the process something he thought he lost will be found, and maybe if he can avoid making a mess of things, he will get to come home.
