"1.9 light-years from home. A 6th-grade science teacher. 1 chance to save us all."This is not your average space mission.

Earth faces a cataclysmic energy crisis caused by a mysterious microorganism consuming the sun’s energy. Grace is part of a desperate mission sent across the galaxy to Tau Ceti, a nearby star system, to find a solution — but his crewmates didn’t survive.
