The Alien Stars
ByPublisher Description
The first novella collection set in the world of Pratt's popular Axiom space opera trilogy.
In this collection of previously unpublished novellas, Hugo Award-winner Tim Pratt returns to the acclaimed sci-fi universe of his Axiom trilogy.
Each of these three stories takes fans and new readers alike deeper into the rich world of the Axiom than ever before, revisiting the crewmembers of the White Raven as they strike out on new and enthralling adventures.
Delilah Mears joins the crew of the Golden Spider, as its cyborg captain Ashok leads them deep into space to investigate a mysterious cosmic anomaly, leading to an encounter with a truly unusual band of space pirates; AI (and Trans-Neptunian Alliance President) Shall receives a strange summons from a past version of himself to help defeat an existential threat to the entire universe; And intrepid alien truth-teller Lantern journeys home to confront the monsters of her past, and the deepest secrets of her heart (or the closest thing she has in her circulatory system to a heart).

“I am so glad I did the Kickstarter for this so I don't have to wait until the end of April! I've got to read it at just the time I needed something to make me feel better.
Now, you probably know that these three novellas take place after the Axiom series. I am sure you could enjoy these without having read those, but I urge you to go read those novels first so you can avoid both spoilers and, more importantly, gain the full emotional impact of these tales. It was wonderful to spend time with these characters again even when things are tense... (oh man, that last story with Lantern!)
I try really hard not to be spoilery if I don't have to so I'm just going to say that every one of these stories was excellent and they all had places to lift my heart. The last page of the book made me tear up in all the right ways, though!”
