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. Her starship gave her freedom. But could it also become a friend?Torian thought she was getting a bargain: a century-old alien starship, abandoned and covered in moss. It was her ticket away from a smuggling past and her overbearing ex . . . ah, ex-captain, Amelia. But the moss has a mind of its own. As the ship's `organic computer,' Moss is lonely, snarky and harbouring serious abandonment issues. And when Torian journeys onward, she encounters the immortal alien who built the craft, then just left it behind - with Moss inside. The ship he's now accusing Torian of stealing. Charting a new course across the galaxy, Torian finds an unexpected ally in Amelia, who might help her find the safe haven she craves. Torian can pilot a starship. But can she uncover ancient secrets and connect with a computer that just wants to belong?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 JournalCan't Spell Treason without Tea was a Sunday Times HB fiction bestseller w/c 06/05/2024
