My copy of this novella, a special edition from Goldsboro Books, arrived today, and it is gorgeous. It is a prequel to Days of Shattered Faith, and features Angilly as a younger person. The cover illustrations and the end papers are delightful. They match the three novels in the series.
I’m going to get the audiobook so that I don’t damage the binding or get stains on the pages. I really need to get another bookshelf, since I’m pretty much out of space.
Job for when I get back from World Fantasy Convention.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission–and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish.
Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it.
All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.
His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, he realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Alone on this tiny ship that’s been cobbled together by every government and space agency on the planet and hurled into the depths of space, it’s up to him to conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.
And thanks to an unexpected ally, he just might have a chance.
Part scientific mystery, part dazzling interstellar journey, Project Hail Mary is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival to rival The Martian–while taking us to places it never dreamed of going.
