Recenzii
Never less than deeply involving
Chambers is simply an exceptional talent
So much fun to read
Joyously written and a joy to read.
The most fun that I've had with a novel in a long, long time
Explores the quieter side of sci-fi while still wowing us with daring leaps of imagination
Exceptional... Chambers is a true talent and writer to watch
Warm, engaging, properly science-fictional, A Closed and Common Orbit is a very likable novel indeed
Becky Chambers writes aliens like no one else ... the only flaw in this series is you'll wish you could spend more time with all of them
Textul de pe ultima copertă
Lovelace was once merely a ship’s artificial intelligence. When she wakes up in a new body following a total system shutdown and reboot, she has no memory of what came before. As Lovelace learns to negotiate 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.
