As his memory and function slowly return, Ryland discovers that he's the sole survivor of a suicide mission to reach the nearest star that seems to be unaffected by Astrophage. When Ryland Grace wakes up from an induced coma in a solar system 12 light-years from Earth, he has little memory of where he is or why he's there.
