Riley 2.0: Interludes in Time
Two hundred and fifty years is a long time to carry your grief.

Riley Patterson-Andrews is the wealthiest person on Earth, the owner of a cloaked alien spaceship, and a part-time schoolteacher living off the grid in the Yukon wilderness with two wolf-hybrid dogs. She hunts caribou, barters with locals, and doesn't drink anymore. She tries not to think about everyone she's outlived.

But solitude doesn't last. An alien AI needs a ride before his home star goes red giant. Two government agents show up in Dawson City with tranq guns. A generation ship carrying an enslaved civilization has been drifting at the edge of her galaxy, going nowhere. And somewhere out past the heliosphere, the universe itself is starting to unravel.

Riley 2.0: Interludes in Time spans millennia — from a standoff in a Canadian hotel bar to an alien first-contact rescue, from dismantling a galactic indentured servitude empire to discovering the mathematical crack running through the fabric of reality. At every turn, the same woman with the same sharp tongue and the same bottomless well of losses faces it all head-on.

This is what it looks like to live long enough to run out of universe.
