Summary
1976
His ‘new family’ was a middle-aged couple from a buttfuck nowhere farming town in Nevada. Miss Green dropped him off with his small bag of belongings, an imploring “behave,” and the mutual, unspoken understanding that this was his last chance.
1995
The town had changed shockingly little in the last seventeen years. The familiarity was the furthest thing from comforting. It was like he’d never left. It was like it’d been waiting for him.
He navigated through the winding streets on detached muscle memory. If Ice found it odd that he hadn’t asked for directions, he didn’t say so, but Mav could feel him watching from behind the dark shield of his aviators.
-
Mav is faced with remnants of a past he'd sooner forget. Ice is there to catch him when he falls.

Summary
“There are only two truths around here. Any man can be king for a night,” the younger man says with a wry grin and long drawl, sliding cards from the card shoe into tidy rows in front of himself and Hannibal. “But by the morning, the house always wins.”
---
An investigation into the deaths of casino hostesses in Las Vegas is made more interesting by a strange card dealer with an uncanny skill at reading guests at his table. Hannibal investigates the depth of his skill, and the card player surprises him with how truly acute it is.

Summary
The thing about time rifts was that, while most people who’d ever sailed a boat or flown a plane had heard of them, almost nobody believed in them. They were like UFOs or the Bermuda Triangle in that way.
Two years after Top Gun, Maverick encounters an urban legend, gets thrown back in time, and saves Goose's life. It doesn't fix things the way he thought it would. Goose is alive, but he hasn't forgotten what it's like to grieve for him. Goose is by his side, but Iceman doesn't even know him anymore.
