Paperback. A patched-up ship. A crew of misfits. A distress call from the middle of nowhere. When Jules Marquez signs on as engineer to The Reverie, they aren't asking for much. The battered freighter offers everything they need: useful work, a captain who doesn't pry, and a quiet corner of the galaxy where a person can disappear.The crew is a mismatched collection of misfits - a ship's computer that knows more than it should, an exiled alien philosopher with a bounty on their head, the kind of found family Jules hasn't dared to want.Then a distress call drags them to a dying mining colony at the edge of nowhere, and what should have been a simple rescue turns into something far harder to walk away from.For fans of Firefly, Becky Chambers' Wayfarers, and L.M. Sagas' Cascade Failure. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

A patched-up ship. A crew of misfits. A distress call from the middle of nowhere.
When Jules Marquez signs on as engineer to The Reverie, they aren't asking for much. The battered freighter offers everything they need: useful work, a captain who doesn't pry, and a quiet corner of the galaxy where a person can disappear.
The crew is a mismatched collection of misfits — a ship's computer that knows more than it should, an exiled alien philosopher with a bounty on their head, the kind of found family Jules hasn't dared to want.
Then a distress call drags them to a dying mining colony at the edge of nowhere, and what should have been a simple rescue turns into something far harder to walk away from.
For fans of Firefly, Becky Chambers' Wayfarers, and L.M. Sagas' Cascade Failure.

About the Author
Rye has been captivated by the fantasy and science fiction genres for as long as he can remember. Whether through books, films, or video games, he has always been drawn to imaginative worlds filled with adventure, mystery, and wonder. His love for storytelling began early-while other children listened to nursery rhymes, Rye's mother introduced him to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien (seriously!), sparking a lifelong fascination with epic tales and intricate world-building.
Before stepping into the world of fiction writing, Rye spent over a decade as a multi-award-winning broadcast and online journalist. His career took him to the heart of breaking news, covering everything from high-profile crimes to local politics-sometimes both in the same story. These years sharpened his storytelling skills, honed his ability to capture compelling narratives, and exposed him to the complexities of the human experience-elements that now enrich his fiction.
Today, Rye channels his passion for speculative storytelling into crafting science fiction and fantasy novels that transport readers to vibrant, otherworldly landscapes. His stories explore universal themes of resilience, identity, and the boundless potential of imagination.
Rye lives in Mississippi with his wife and their spirited dog, where he writes full-time. When he's not immersed in his latest project, you'll often find him enjoying the outdoors, experimenting in the kitchen, or indulging in his lifelong enthusiasm for geek culture-whether it's diving into a new RPG or revisiting his favorite sci-fi films.
