In The Deep Sky, Kitasei puts us under the microscope not in judgment but with a fair and caring eye she looks for the best in us." -C. "There are so many things to love about Yume Kitasei's debut, but I especially adored how real every moment felt: the politics of boarding school and our future world the lapsed friendships and estranged parents the guilt of surviving, of being chosen. The space geek in me loves the way the voyage feels like a completely plausible extension of our current billionaire-fueled space race." -Mary Robinette Kowal, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Awards It is both an intimate character portrait and a thriller. " The Deep Sky is a beautiful tightly-wound mystery.
