Product Description
Orrin trusts the diagnostics. Pip checks what the machine is actually doing.That difference has made them an unlikely but effective research team—right up until a hidden control, a stowaway monster, and a signal from nowhere pull their ship through a route that should not exist.They crash into the boiler room of The Last Stop, an interdimensional boarding house run by Mortimus, an exhausted skeleton with very specific opinions about structural damage. His offer is simple: repair what they broke, help around the property, and stay for two weeks while the ship is fixed.Then Blume arrives with towels. Rauka starts eating the evidence. Doors stop behaving properly. The house begins responding to its new residents. And Orrin discovers that the signal that brought them there may have been calling long before their ship ever answered it.The House That Caught Them is a warm, funny speculative novel about broken systems, found family, and the inconvenient possibility that arriving in the wrong place can still lead somewhere worth staying.
