    Summary

    A combination of the Iron Lung universe and Project Hail Mary universe!
    Mars was colonized. Eden was established. Astrophage threatened life.
    Earth sent a ship out to solve the issue. Eden sent a ship out to hunt it down.
    Simon and five of his brothers are tasked with rising against the enemies of Eden, destroying the Hail Mary, and ensuring the human hands attempting to stay the hand of God are brought to ruin. The Rapture is coming. Father saw it. The death of the sun is only the beginning. All will end. All will be made new.
    Ryland Grace doesn't even know he's running for his life. He's barely holding himself together as he tries to figure out who he is, what he's doing, and how to communicate with an alien he's made friends with. Just as things are looking up, a Martian ship arrives. It looked like it was headed right for him, but then... it turned. Rocky claims there is one living person on board. Alone, just like him. Strange, frightening, but desperately in need of his help.

    Summary

    “Doc broke a tube of something, inhaled it, then fell in the middle of the lab. He said it was someone else’s. Smelled sweet.”

    Stratt swears about a paragraph worth of German profanity.

    “You’ve got the shape of it,” Carl says when she’s done. “You know what that was?”

    She presses hard at her temple. “It was an experimental drug to manipulate neurotransmitters,” she spits out, her consonants especially harsh. “Meant to help the crew in their comas by stabilizing hormonal output.”

    “It was supposed to,” Carl echoes. “Does it?”

    When Stratt shakes her head sharply, her hair falls from its loose braid. “The very opposite. It was an abject failure—an aphrodisiac. Very potent.”

    “Uh oh,” Grace says dreamily.

    .....

    When Grace has an accident in the lab and ingests an aphrodisiac, Carl takes him to the only person he knows with a private room. Stratt gets them through it.
