    About this ebook

    Deep space vessel Sparrow looks out over the star system and runs her database checks.

    She checks again. No error.

    The databases recognise the Sun and Earth and the other celestial bodies in her home system.

    Sparrow's journey took her across the galaxy and she anticipates a welcome return. What she finds challenges her knowledge and understanding.

    A beguiling sentient ship short story with a heart, from the author of "Tweezers".
