Summary
Ratchet, CMO of the Lost Light, has to assemble a medical record for every bot on the ship. One bot in particular is being very stubborn about this.
Each chapter, we see Drift and Ratchet interacting in the present day and Ratchet struggling to cope with Drift's idiosyncrasies. Then we dive in and see how Drift came to be that way through a series of flashbacks. Overall, the story is a story of a fragmented life, lost loves, and seizing happiness wherever you can - juxtaposed against a present day slow-build friendship.

Summary
Ratchet's been looking for Drift for several weeks. To make matters worse, he's started dreaming again - and reliving memories he's tried to bury.
(A sequel to Observing Drift, but I think it stands quite well alone)

Summary
Ratchet leaves the Lost Light to find Drift. They return together during Dying of the Light, with much changed between them.
The miniseries Empire of Stone tells one possible story of how they reunited. This is a different possibility...full of all the things I wanted and EoS didn't give me: romance, character continuity and a grand sci-fi journey home constantly waylaid by adventure.
