Through a revolutionary method known as somaforming, astronauts can survive in hostile environments off Earth using synthetic biological supplementations. They can produce antifreeze in sub-zero temperatures, absorb radiation and convert it for food, and conveniently adjust to the pull of different gravitational forces. With the fragility of the body no longer a limiting factor, human beings are at last able to explore neighbouring exoplanets long suspected to harbour life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecord of a Spaceborn Few\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eCenturies after the last humans left Earth, the Exodus Fleet is a living relic, a place many are from but few outsiders have seen. Humanity has finally been accepted into the galactic community, but while this has opened doors for many, those who have not yet left for alien cities fear that their carefully cultivated way of life is under threat. Tessa chose to stay home when her brother Ashby left for the stars, but has to question that decision when her position in the Fleet is threatened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWhen Rosemary Harper joins the crew of the Wayfarer, she isn't expecting much. The ship, which has seen better days, offers her everything she could possibly want: a small, quiet spot to call home for a while, adventure in far-off corners of the galaxy, and distance from her troubled past. But Rosemary gets more than she bargained for with the Wayfarer. The crew is a mishmash of species and personalities, from Sissix, the friendly reptillian pilot, to Kizzy and Jenks, the constantly sparring engineers who keep the ship running. Life on board is chaotic, but more or less peaceful - exactly what Rosemary wants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Closed and Common Orbit\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLovelace was once merely a ship's artificial intelligence.
