Nominated for the 2017 Hugo Award for Best Novel and shortlisted for the 2017 Arthur C. Clarke Award, embark on an exciting, adventurous, and dangerous journey through the galaxy with the motley crew of the spaceship Wayfarer in this fun and heartwarming space opera—the sequel to the acclaimed "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet."

Lovelace was once merely a ship’s artificial intelligence. When she wakes up in a new body, following a total system shut-down and reboot, she has no memory of what came before. As Lovelace learns to navigate the universe and discover who she is, she makes friends with Pepper, an excitable engineer who’s determined to help her learn and grow. Together, Pepper and Lovey will discover that no matter how vast space is, two people can fill it together.

"The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" introduced readers to the incredible world of Rosemary Harper, a young woman with a restless soul and secrets to keep. When she joined the crew of the Wayfarer, an intergalactic ship, she got more than she bargained for—and learned to live with and love her rag-tag collection of crewmates. "A Closed and Common Orbit" is the stand-alone sequel to that beloved debut novel and is perfect for fans of "Firefly," Joss Whedon, "Mass Effect," and "Star Wars.".
