Description

I Will Find You: Pepper has been searching for Owl for a decade, and the last third of the book is dedicated to recovering her from a museum.

A Closed and Common Orbit (2016): Sidra is a sentient AI who used to reside inside of a spaceship until circumstances beyond her control forced her to relocate. Pepper was the engineer who installed Sidra into her new body, a kit designed to look and act Human. Pepper herself is a designer baby who only knew a life of sorting junk until a fateful accident let her escape the factory that bred her. Pepper's past and Sidra's present share more similarities than either of them realize, and it will take Sidra some soul searching and hard thinking before she is able to carve out a space for herself on Port Coriol. Once Ohan is revealed to be dying, there's more focus on the crew's increasing dread of their impending loss, especially once it's revealed that it's possible to cure them of the Whisperer without the Sianat losing their ability to Navigate, but that Ohan does not want to do this. At the end of the book, once he has been forcibly cured by Corbin and is no longer a Pair, he begins to spend more time with his crewmates. Add it: Goodreads Goodreads Summary: Rosemary Harper doe Ashby and Pei have to deal with their relationship this way, because they both know that Pei would end up in serious trouble if anyone found out due to Interspecies Romance being taboo amoung Aeluons. After the failed punch, Pei decides that she doesn't care who finds out anymore. Smoking Is Cool: Several characters smoke "redreed" and its only negative effect is that it's described as mildly irritating to some aliens.

Actually Pretty Funny: At some point before Rosemary was hired, Jenks stole Corbin's scrib and replaced his lab notes with over three hundred pictures of Jenks posing while completely naked. He didn't say it to Corbin's face, but Ashby thought it was really funny (especially the one with the flag). In Spaceborn Few, the Exodus Fleet ships are likewise powered by movement of the crew inside them. Again, this is extremely unlikely to provide the required power for a massive Generation Ship. Rules Lawyer: Rosemary Harper, the new girl on the crew. She's officially hired as the crew's bookkeeper and receptionist of sorts, but her linguistic abilities and skills with paperwork save the crew from hot water multiple times. The Quiet One: Ohan for most of the story; they are polite and considerate to their crewmates and genuinely care about them, but like most Pairs, mostly keep to themself. After he is cured of the virus near the end of the story and becomes a Solitary, he is stated to still be pretty quiet, but chooses to remain with the crew and begins to open up to them more.

All you can do, Rosemary – all any of us can do – is work to be something positive instead. That is a choice that every sapient must make every day of their life. The universe is what we make of it. It’s up to you to decide what part you will play.” The Ark: The Exodus fleet was filled with poor refugees from Earth after the collapse. They dismantled their cities to build the ships, then flew off into interplanetary space without any real idea where they were going. Fortunately for their descendants, they were eventually found by an Aeluon scout. The acclaimed modern science fiction masterpiece, Hugo Award winner for Best Series (2019)! Follow a motley crew on an exciting journey through space—and one adventurous young explorer who discovers the meaning of family in the far reaches of the... The Quelin despise clones, no thanks to a brutal interplanetary war involving cloning and eugenics, and openly refer to Corbin as an abomination. If their representative is anything to go by, they don't think too highly of humans, either. Rosemary had a reason for wanting to start a new life. Before she changed her last name, she was Rosemary Harris, the daughter of a corporate shark who was arrested for selling weapons to Toremi clans and leading to thousands of deaths. While she had nothing to do with his crimes, her reputation on Mars was ruined forever. Thus she changed her last name and took a job as far away from Mars as she could.

Green-Skinned Space Babe: Aeluons (such as Pei, Ashby's girlfriend) as a whole are mentioned as being found extremely attractive by a variety of species (excluding the Toremi and perhaps the Harmagians as well). They're described as hairless, having silver scaly skin, large eyes, small mouths and being very graceful. Tycho, the new AI who replaces the reset Lovelace after she leaves. Ashby notices that he sounds a bit nervous around his new crew because he knows what happened to Lovey and that he can't replace her but still wants to please them, but his few appearances show him to be perfectly nice, and he's stated to get along well with Jenks. Rosemary dutifully shut her eyes as the shutters whirred open, but her eyelids remained dark. She opened her eyes to find that the only significant source of light was coming from within the pod. As she had expected, there was nothing beyond the window but empty space and tiny stars. Out in the open. Follow a motley crew on an exciting journey through space—and one adventurous young explorer who discovers the meaning of family in the far reaches of the universe—in this light-hearted debut space opera from a rising sci-fi star.

Pepper, a clone who was originally named Jane 23, discovered love of food seasonings following her escape from her homeworld and chose this name as her new name. Also inverted quite a bit; since several main characters are Human, and The Protagonist, Rosemary, is a fairly sheltered Human who's had very little prior interaction with non-Human species, the Human characters note either to themselves or out loud the many things that frighten, puzzle, or fascinate them about other species. Isabel, during a naming ceremony: " If we have food, she will eat. If we have air, she will breathe. If we have fuel, she will fly."Super-Hearing: The Toremi have excellent hearing, being able to pinpoint an individual's voice in a crowd ...or Rosemary's offhand comments at the diplomatic dinner. Cannot Tell a Lie: A huge problem for Sidra, as it's part of her programming as a Lovelace unit that she must answer direct questions honestly and must obey direct commands, which makes her wary of becoming too close to sapient lifeforms for fear that they'll find out the truth about her, and forces her to become very good at utilizing Exact Words. About 80% of the way through the book, she finally learns how to remove this thanks to a programming class she takes, and with Tak's help, successfully gets rid of it. In the ending, she's removed it from Owl as well. Lizard Folk: The Aandrisk look like giant bipedal lizards with multicolored feathers on their heads. Sissix jokingly tells Rosemary in Small, Angry Planet that they have no proof her species isn't descended from dinosaurs. Calling them "lizards", however, is considered a speciest slur. Title Drop: the narration describes Hedra Ka as "A small, angry planet, surrounded by the warships of people who wanted to control it." Secret-Keeper: Tak towards Sidra after xyr inkbots causes her kit body to malfunction. Tak is at first uncomfortable with it (since Sidra's existence is illegal and highly unordinary), but after talking with and learning more about her, comes to see Sidra as a person as much as Pepper and Blue do, and becomes her close friend.
