Too far from an estranged wife and daughter he might never see again. He has a crew, as strange and dysfunctional as they come. And a moon-sized warship that can't get any of them home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Stonefruit Galaxy is Fold country.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd the Fold doesn't just kill worlds, they erase them. Whole species scrubbed from the records, from the maps, and the memories of every neighbor who used to know their names.

They bury their dead and don't say the names out loud, because the Fold is always listening.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd yet, the Scattered have never had Gaelin Starks, a debt-collared exile with nothing left to lose. He has a warship that can take a fleet apart on its own and exactly one move left: stop running and fight. Gaelin never did like long odds. Although he hates losing more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaybe, if any of them live through it, they'll find a way home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Scattered are about to learn what hope looks like—Milky Way style.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books Prime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45922434580671,"sku":"1f11575e-3e57-4026-9640-9bde17168a23","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/7550\/7647\/files\/8576a3a65293c4a640bac4c86293a7ea.jpg?v=1785182898","url":"https:\/\/books-prime.com\/products\/scattered-hopes-flying-gas-can","provider":"Books Prime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
