Product Description

Sometimes the longest way home is the one that teaches you where home really is.Vic knows how to handle difficult jobs.She knows ships. She knows animals. She knows how to keep moving when things go wrong—and, most importantly, she knows how to do things herself.So when a job takes Vic and her small crew to the remote world of Tolvane, it should be straightforward: help a failing herd, get paid, and head home.Instead, almost everything goes wrong.Tolvane's animals aren't like the ones Vic knows. The local land is strange. Their communications with home are gone. And Cormac Dray, the stubborn man who knows the herd better than anyone, has no intention of letting an off-worlder take over the care of animals that once belonged to the partner he lost.As the herd's condition worsens and their window for resupply closes, Vic has to confront something harder than any animal she's ever handled: the possibility that competence isn't the same thing as doing everything alone.With the clock running down, Vic, her crew, and Cormac will have to learn to trust one another—and Vic will have to learn to read a creature she doesn't understand before it's too late.The Long Way to Tolvane is a cozy sci-fi space adventure about found family, friendship, belonging, and learning that home isn't always the place you started.For readers who love gentle science fiction, character-driven space adventures, heartwarming sci-fi, cozy frontier worlds, and stories where the relationships matter as much as the journey.Come for the distant planet.Stay for the crew.And take the long way home.
