Project Hail Joseph | Ryland Grace x Oc (PHM FF)

More than three years after Ryland Grace vanished aboard the Hail Mary. The mission that could save Earth became one of history's greatest mysteries-buried beneath layers of classified records known only to a handful of people.

Among those obsessed with uncovering the truth is Dr. Nova Dreen, a brilliant astrophysicist whose research into Astrophage propulsion leads her to a startling discovery. The Hail Mary was never impossible to retrieve. By refining the Astrophage fuel cycle, Nova proves that a second interstellar vessel could make the journey to Tau Ceti-and return.

Dismissed by the scientific establishment and told to abandon an idea that resurrects painful memories of Project Hail Mary, once it fall into the hands of Eva Stratt, the woman who orchestrated humanity's desperate gamble three years before. Faced with the possibility that they could save the crew, Stratt authorizes one final mission.

The spacecraft Hail Joseph launches with a simple objective: find the Hail Mary, recover any surviving crew or scientific data, and bring humanity's heroes home.
