Survival tales in the skies of Uranus, desperate struggles at the solar system's edge, and near-lightspeed interstellar expeditions await in this hard science fiction collection of seven Hayden's World short reads: 43 Seconds: James Hayden has a dream, and the Riggs test vehicle is going to take him there. But when failure after failure leads to his last chance exploding spectacularly, he must partner with an AI and gamble everything for one last shot at the stars. Silver-Side Up: Two old friends, a silver space ship, and a perfect day for a test flight. Erebus: In 43 Seconds, James Hayden took us to near-light-speed with the world's first Riggs ship. Now, construction of the second Riggs ship is nearly complete, and in one month Sarah will take the helm. But growing opposition may shut down the program before she gets her chance. When James's last-ditch publicity stunt traps him light-days from rescue, Sarah must decide just how far she's willing to go to save a friend. Signal Loss: Life aboard the Aristarchus isn't much of an adventure, and Kyan just wants to do his job and get back to his family. When he discovers a mysterious object at the edge of the solar system and an unexpected contact during comms loss, data running turns life-or-death thirteen billion kilometers from home. Last Stand: Kyan testifies about the events in Signal Loss, but other agendas are in play. Aero One: Jia can't breathe, her ship is minutes from breaking apart in Uranus's atmosphere, and the lifepod just burned up. Things aren't going well. When her injured engineer's solution sends them plummeting into the icy stratosphere, they find themselves trapped in a life-or-death battle against time, the elements, and unexpected visitors. Titan's Shadow: In Aero One, Jia nearly lost everything during her encounter with the pirate ship Maya. A year later, she's trying to restart her life as a freelancer aboard Saturn's newly-built Cassini Station. But Cassini has its own secrets. When a chance encounter with a past adversary sets old battles in motion, she must unravel the mystery of Titan's Shadow before more lives are lost.
