Opening the Span
A door home. A pursuit begins. The largest wound.
The long road home runs through a pocket of the universe that is quietly going out. A way back exists — but a way back is also a way through, and what the Endurance opens does not only let her cross. Something follows.
The choices made at the Span reach all the way back to humanity's intact network. The trilogy closes, and the door it leaves open is the largest wound of all — the hinge into everything that comes after.

The names cut into the bulkhead aft of the bridge. Departed with two hundred and forty; came home with a hundred and fifty-eight. And those they could not bring.
