Publisher Description

Fast-paced action, fun banter, and unforgettable characters (even a talking cat!) are at the center of this epic space opera that packs a serious emotional wallop.

What if instead of saving humanity, aliens decided to save the Earth?

Seventy-five years from today, the human race has been cast from a dying Earth to wander the stars in a vast fleet of arks—each shaped by its inhabitants into a diverse and fascinating new environment, with its own rules and eccentricities.

When her sister disappears while responding to a mysterious alien distress call, Eryn insists on being part of the crew sent to look for her.

What she discovers on Candidate-623 is both terrifying and deadly.

When the threat follows her back to the fleet and people start dying, she is tasked with seeking out a legendary recluse who may just hold the key to humanity's survival.

Stars and Bones is another unforgettable science fiction adventure from two-time BSFA Award winner Gareth L. Powell.
