Moss‘d In Space

Fabulously cosy adventure from bestselling author Rebecca Thorne, featuring shenanigans in space, a sentient starship and the feeling of finding home. She can navigate the stars. But navigating an alien spaceship is something else. Torian finally bought a starship, the only one she could afford. But it was not ‘a meteoric sign of stupidity,‘ as Amelia put it. Despite being a feared smuggling captain and her old boss, Amelia doesn‘t know everything. And sure, the alien starship may have been abandoned for a century and may be covered in moss . . . but it‘s Torian‘s ticket to freedom, regardless of what her ex . . . ah, ex-captain . . . thought. Then Torian‘s first flight reveals a surprise passenger. The moss is actually an organic computer with an attitude and serious abandonment issues. The target of its loathing? The immortal alien who built it, then parked the starship - with Moss inside - and forgot about it for an age. The same alien who just accused Torian of ‘stealing‘ his ship. She can pilot a starship. But can she survive ancient secrets and an organic computer that just wants a friend? If you love Firefly‘s adventures in space, the loveable alien cast of Mass Effect and the coziness of Legends & Lattes, this is for you. * * * Praise for Rebecca Thorne: ‘I absolutely loved it‘ - Sarah Beth Durst, author of The Spellshop ‘Readers of Travis Baldree and TJ Klune will feel right at home‘ - Publishers Weekly ‘Charming, pun-filled, gentle and deeply affirming‘ - Library Journal ‘A fun romp through space that will keep readers engaged and eager‘ - School Library Journal Can‘t Spell Treason without Tea was a Sunday Times HB fiction bestseller w/c 06/05/2024
