    Summary

    Simon thought he'd died. He remembered releasing that stupid black box, he remembered the blood and pain, he remembered Ellie's teeth cracking down on SM-13.

    Then he woke up, floating in that hateful submarine, in a pool of blood. Intact. Had that all been some terrible nightmare? Had he failed and was now doomed to die slowly in a portion of the ocean of blood?

    Then the speaker that shouldn't be working cracked to life.

    "Hello?"

    --

    Grace was content with how his life was going. Sure, he was light years away from Earth and all the other humans. But he was alive, he had a best friend and a whole planet that cared for his happiness and well-being. He got to teach once more and had a beautiful view that was created just for him.

    But he was lonely. He had Rocky and the other Eridians of course, but he could really do with a cat or something to cuddle and love. Not that anything like that was going to happen -

    Wait, why was the ocean bubbling? Was that a voice? Light? What was happening?!

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky receive a message from Earth, requesting help in engineering a submarine to explore another planet. Rather reluctantly, they agree, and find themselves on a planet of blood oceans. Soon, they learn that their submarine is not being used for what they were told it was, and have been fed lies once again. They're in a race against time to save an unknown convict, unaware of what will come.

    Trigger warnings: blood and lots of it, body horror, gore

    Summary

    Simon was stuck. The SM-13 wasn't responding, the monster was lurking outside somewhere and the light was slowly burning through the glass. He had limited oxygen left, Ava wasn't answering and he was pretty sure he was on concussion number 3.

    But it was the terminal's insistent beeping that caught his attention. What was Project Hail Mary?

    Simon pressed Enter.

    Summary

    Simon expected the blood ocean to be the last place he would ever see.

    Ryland Grace expected the Tau Ceti system to contain nothing except Astrophage, unanswered questions, and the impossible mission waiting ahead of him. Instead, the Hail Mary detects a human signal coming from a moon that should not exist.

    Their first contact is little more than a broken voice cutting through the static. Simon is trapped beneath an unexplored ocean, surrounded by darkness and following orders from people he does not trust. Grace is stranded far above him, unable to understand how a human settlement, or an entire moon, appeared light years from where it belongs.

    As the connection between them grows stronger, Grace becomes Simon’s only reliable link to the world above, and Simon becomes proof that Grace may not be as alone as he believed. But something is moving beneath the blood, the Consolidation does not want Grace interfering with the mission, and the mystery connecting AT-5 to Astrophage may be more dangerous than either of them realizes.

    Across an impossible distance, two men who were never supposed to survive begin giving each other a reason to.

    Summary

    Since he was a child, Simon had been made aware that his life was limited compared to most people.

    At first, he thought he'd die while doing Eden's dirty work. Then it was believed that he'd die in prison as a death-row inmate.

    Now?

    Simon was lost in an unknown place of seemingly endless halls that a group of black box government spooks had tricked him into going. Having to escape danger from humans and monsters alike, will Simon find a way out?

    Also, who is the crazy guy with the talking pet rock that insists he's some kind of scientist and says he only wants to help him escape?
