Lovelace was once merely a ship’s artificial intelligence. When she wakes up in an new body, following a total system shut-down and reboot, she has to start over in a synthetic body, in a world where her kind are illegal. She’s never felt so alone.
But she’s not alone, not really. Pepper, one of the engineers who risked life and limb to reinstall Lovelace, is determined to help her adjust to her new world. Because Pepper knows a thing or two about starting over.
Together, Pepper and Lovey will discover that, huge as the galaxy may be, it’s anything but empty.

Never less than deeply involving
PRAISE FOR THE WAYFARERS
So much fun to read
The most fun that I've had with a novel in a long, long time
Exceptional... Chambers is a true talent and writer to watch
Chambers is simply an exceptional talent
Explores the quieter side of sci-fi while still wowing us with daring leaps of imagination
Joyously written and a joy to read.
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
