Eustis Grimes, an idealistic cyber-nerd, has to go on the run when his best friends are murdered by the evil Admiral Strafe for their faith. Eustis is thrust into a Solar System where just the mention of outlawed ideas can get you killed in a dozen creative ways. Since he has no ship, no money, and no connections, he is forced to sneak aboard a rattle-beaten freighter of smugglers as they set out into the wild black yonder. He embarks armed with stubbornness and an unstoppable drive to share the gospel with the Solar System before Admiral Strafe finds him.

When a test of a breakthrough drive ends in tragedy, Commander Mara Ellington, pilot Imani Brooks, and young engineer Elias Chen are marooned near a labyrinth of stone canyons the maps call Cathedral Spires. Their only guide is an improbable signal hidden in the static, three simple notes that echo an old Psalm and point toward forgotten Sparrow caches that were meant to keep the lost alive. With oxygen thin and time thinner, the crew wrestles grief, guilt, and a rising storm. An AI that is learning gentleness keeps watch. A tug called Gabriel fights its own corridor of peril.
