From a deaf assassin navigating unfamiliar worlds to a gardener rebuilding civilization one seed at a time, each story In Echoes of Distant Stars is an intimate exploration of what it means to be alive in an impossibly vast universe.
Drawing on literary sensibilities while embracing contemporary science fiction, these tales are portraits of resilience, redemption, and connection. Broken spaceships become sanctuaries, hostile planets offer second chances, and the stars themselves become characters in stories of survival and rebirth.
Perfect for readers who love Ursula K. Le Guin's depth and Becky Chambers' heart, Echoes of Distant Stars reminds us even in space's darkest corners, the heart of the people continues to beat.
