Humanity did not build the galaxy it inherited. The faster-than-light buoys, the stasis-class cold, the channels that gate themselves - all of it was found in place, already old, already running, left by makers no one has ever met.
Out on the frontier, the people who keep that borrowed machinery alive - a solo relay tender, a salvage contractor in debt to an alien broker, a junior clerk who files the dead into the record - begin to notice the same impossible thing: the clock at the heart of everything is slowing down. And the silence at the center of the dark, the one every wise species learned to fly around, has begun, very faintly, to answer back.
Across thirty interlocking stories, Other People's Stars is a novel about small people improvising against enormous odds - about grief kept faithfully, courage borrowed across the dark, and the hope that is only ever a verb. It will leave you satisfied and haunted in the same breath.
