Entry number 3333. Vanguard Station Reckoning. All systems stable. Nothing new to report. It's been nine years since the war started; nine years since she has received acknowledgement or contact from anyone. Marooned alone on proto-colony planet Hestia, aging xeno-geologist Jyothi Agarwal still continues her routine transmissions in the hopes that someone, somewhere, is listening. Then one day, out of nowhere, a brilliant light illuminates Hestia and something falls from the sky. In the west, he wakes up in pain and alone. There is light everywhere. A new sense of weight. A broken body. Words. Knowing. And he realizes that against all odds, he is inexplicably alive. On a planet far removed from everything, the last human and a fallen star find companionship in each other--and perhaps something more. Something beautiful, shining, lasting. Something luminous.
