Description
Abandoned in a lifepod in the vastness of space, Evey is left for dead. When the bookish freight hauler Shirr rescues her, the two form a connection over tea and unspoken trauma. Just when things feel safe again, their peace is threatened by a relic of their past, and they’re forced to embark on a mission across the stars to protect themselves and others from the threat of violence. The Forgetting Navigations is a brutally honest exploration of what it means to be a survivor, set against the brilliant backdrop of the cosmos.

Advance Praise
“Few writers can face brutality without flinching, and fewer can tell it well. Marlee Jane Ward is that rare author who can show you the worst that humanity can do, and at the same time, give you something beautiful. This book is a tapestry of blood, grief, and unbreakable love.”
— Meg Elison, author of The Book of the Unnamed Midwife
“Harrowing. Thrilling. Beautifully life-affirming. The Forgetting Navigations is all of these things and more. Marlee Jane Ward uses the grammar of space opera to tell an unforgettable story of what it takes to survive in a harsh universe as a woman, and in the process confirms herself as a major new author to watch.”
— Charlie Jane Anders, author of Lessons in Magic and Disaster
