“ A Closed and Common Orbit may be smaller in scope than the book before it, but in its focus and its force, in the sheer delight it takes in the discoveries it documents, it’s as fine and as fantastical and as fun as Chambers’ absolute darling of a debut.” - Tor.com “Warm, engaging, properly science-fictional, A Closed and Common Orbit is a very likable novel indeed.” - The Guardian “Chambers uses her considerable talent to take a more focused and contained look at a gut-wrenching story of self-determination and personal autonomy No matter what beautiful and strange world Chambers takes us to, we can count on her to lead with humor and heart.” - RT Book Reviews (4 1/2 stars) “As with her amazing debut, the power of Chamber’s second space opera is in her appealing characters Her protagonists might not all be human, but they possess more humanity than most” - Library Journal (starred review) 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.Ī 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.

When she wakes up in a new body, following a total system shut-down and reboot, she has no memory of what came before. Lovelace was once merely a ship’s artificial intelligence.
