    About this series

    NEW 2021 EDITION — BONUS CONTENT, UPDATES, AND MORE

    Refugees and renegades vie for survival and joy...

    In "The Fields," a strict Caste system rules dry, distant Indus. Bold rebellions against social norms have set Clarice apart, but the Behavioural Corrections Centre has finally caught her in its dusty claws. Clarice is unprepared for the cruelty of her captors, and how far they will go to make the inmates conform.

    In "The Wordthieves," the city of Corinth is beautiful, clean - and uptight, and boring. It's exactly the wrong place for Sarah Jean White, but they were hiring English majors, and she needed a job. But scraping the life and colour out of books is no way to make a living, and Sarah has more than a few private qualms.

    When a familiar face reenters her life, she's overjoyed at the disruption - and totally unprepared for the chances to come. She's been able to endure the Human Conglomerate's creeping, oppressive politics by flouting the small rules - but everything has a price, and catches up to you eventually...

    Fans of Becky Chambers' The Wayfarers will enjoy this both grim and hopeful patchwork tale of people doing the best they can.

      It's her first job...and it's already going wrong. Freshly graduated from university with a degree in engineering, Crystal approaches her placement on the wormhole-constructive ship Crossing Paths with nothing but enthusiasm. But while Crystal gets used to the ins and outs of a multispecies, multicultural ship, tension brews both at work and back home. Not murdering her coworker Jai is hard enough; the last thing she needs are the terrifying errors cropping up on her maps. Reality and space are either tearing themselves apart - or someone else is attacking them. With conspiracies lurking everywhere, friendship won't be enough to see her through these dangerous new problems... Fans of Becky Chambers' Wayfarers series will enjoy this sometimes joyful, sometimes dark personal adventure set in a world of politics, bureaucracy - and piracy.
