Description: "This earns a space on shelves alongside the very best of the genre." -- Publisher''s Weekly, Starred Review "Truly original.... Writing fantastically memorable characters, Maxwell masterfully draws out a rich and complicated story which explores military incursions, familial ties, and the impact of secrets revealed." -- Booklist , starred review "This stand-alone set in the same universe as Winter''s Orbit is an exciting, fast-paced sci-fi adventure with great worldbuilding and complex characters. Fans of Jessie Mihalik and J. S. Dewes will enjoy." -- Library Journal , starred review " Ocean''s Echo is a slow burn that eventually blazes into a supernova, a novel constrained in its location but massive in its ambition." -- BookPage "Compassionate, queer, slightly horrifying, and wildly inventive-- Ocean''s Echo whisked me into a faraway world of spacefaring outcasts and rogues, teased me with the promise of not-quite-human romance, and vaulted me into a transcendent meditation on identity, truth, and meaning of existence itself. What a glorious read!" --Ryka Aoki, author of Light from Uncommon Stars " Ocean''s Echo digs its teeth into the psychic-soulbond trope and gives it a good, hard, gleeful shake--and what falls out is a fast-paced and gorgeously written tapestry of exciting space adventure, heart-clenching romance, and deft examination of the duties we owe to one another and what it means to be human in a vast universe. I was hoping that it would give me the same feelings of awe and delight that Winter''s Orbit did, and instead it delivered them on an even higher level . This is space opera at its best." --Freya Marske, author of A Marvellous Light Praise for Winter''s Orbit ALA''s Alex Award Winner! A Sunday Times Bestseller!

This is fertile ground for the tropiest of misunderstandings, compounded by our heroes'' own self-loathing baggage.... when these sensitive boys figure out what actually makes their match work, that''s when sparks fly." -- NPR "Delightful! Winter''s Orbit is a chilling account of a dark past wrapped in the warm blanket of a promising future. It was such a pleasure to read." --Ann Leckie, New York Times bestselling author of the Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C.
