Science Fiction Space Opera
Follow a motley crew on an exciting journey through
space—and one adventurous young explorer who discovers the
meaning of family in the far reaches of the universe—in this
light-hearted debut space opera from a rising sci-fi
star. Rosemary Harper doesn’t expect much when she
joins the crew of the aging Wayfarer. While the
patched-up ship has seen better days, it offers her a bed, a
chance to explore the far-off corners of the galaxy, and
most importantly, some distance from her past. An
introspective young woman who learned early to keep to
herself, she’s never met anyone remotely like the ship’s
diverse crew, including Sissix, the exotic reptilian pilot,
chatty engineers Kizzy and Jenks who keep the ship running,
and Ashby, their noble captain. Life aboard the
Wayfarer is chaotic and crazy—exactly what Rosemary
wants. It’s also about to get extremely dangerous when the
crew is offered the job of a lifetime. Tunneling wormholes
through space to a distant planet is definitely lucrative
and will keep them comfortable for years. But risking her
life wasn’t part of the plan. In the far reaches of deep
space, the tiny Wayfarer crew will confront a host
of unexpected mishaps and thrilling adventures that force
them to depend on each other. To survive, Rosemary’s got to
learn how to rely on this assortment of oddballs—an
experience that teaches her about love and trust, and that
having a family isn’t necessarily the worst thing in the
universe.
