Traveling faster than light, the transport ship Redundancy is cut off from communication as effectively as an ancient ocean liner.

But when a wealthy passenger turns up dead during a routine voyage, Ace will have to connect with the passengers and crew to uncover the truth. Tragedy will strike again--it's only a matter of time.

Falling Bodies

Light-years from home, it's Ira's second chance. Just another anonymous student at a space station university. Not the orphan whose Earther heritage was erased. Not some social experiment put on display by his adoptive father. Not the criminal recruited by the human rebels. But when Ira's loyalties clash once again, two wars break out: one on the ground and one within himself. Which will Ira stand with? Which will take him down?

But when Narr learns just how short-lived their species is, the little alien embarks on a big mission: to find out why their people die and how to stop it. Stubborn and hopeful, Narr has a plan for the locals, for humans, and for the future.

Equipped with the entirety of human knowledge, a sentient ship is launched on a last-ditch journey to find a new home for civilization. Trillions of miles. Tens of thousands of years. In the space between, the AI has plenty of time to think about life, the vastness of the universe, everything it was meant to do, and--with a perspective created but not limited by humans--what it should do.
