Molly Fyde and the Parsona Rescue — Hugh Howey

Molly gets kicked out of the Naval Academy and loses the only two things that truly matter: flying in space and her training partner, Cole. A dull future awaits, until her father's old starship-missing for a decade-turns up halfway across the galaxy. Its retrieval launches Molly and Cole on the adventure of a lifetime, one that will have lasting consequences for themselves and billions of others. The simple quest to reconnect with her past ends up forging a new future. And the forgotten family she hoped to uncover becomes one she never foresaw: a band of alien misfits and runaways. Together, they form a new family-the crew of the starship Parsona. --"Molly Fyde and the Parsona Rescue is a fabulous, picaresque adventure featuring one of the most delightful characters I have encountered in recent science fiction. A charming, well-written and beautifully realized story-I loved it!" by Douglas Preston, Author of Blasphemy and co-author of the New York Times Bestselling Pendergast series.
