Monje y robot tendran que viajar por Panga para reunir todas las respuestas posibles.Monje y robot, la premiada bilogia de Becky Chambers que incluye Salmo por quienes se construyeron en la naturaleza y Plegaria por la timidez de los arboles, plantea una utopia futurista donde la gente ya tiene lo que quiere. Y ¿acaso es importante tener mas?

When Rosemary Harper joins the crew of the Wayfarer, she isn't expecting much. The Wayfarer, a patched-up ship that's seen better days, offers her everything she could possibly want: a small, quiet spot to call home for a while, adventure in far-off corners of the galaxy, and distance from her troubled past. But Rosemary gets more than she bargained for with the Wayfarer. The crew is a mishmash of species and personalities, from Sissix, the friendly reptillian pilot, to Kizzy and Jenks, the constantly sparring engineers who keep the ship running. Life on board is chaotic, but more or less peaceful - exactly what Rosemary wants. Until the crew are offered the job of a lifetime: the chance to build a hyperspace tunnel to a distant planet. They'll earn enough money to live comfortably for years...if they survive the long trip through war-torn interstellar space without endangering any of the fragile alliances that keep the galaxy peaceful. But Rosemary isn't the only person on board with secrets to hide, and the crew will soon discover that space may be vast, but spaceships are very small indeed.

Centuries after the last humans left Earth, the Exodus Fleet is a living relic, a place many are from but few outsiders have seen. Humanity has finally been accepted into the galactic community, but while this has opened doors for many, those who have not yet left for alien cities fear that their carefully cultivated way of life is under threat. Tessa chose to stay home when her brother Ashby left for the stars, but has to question that decision when her position in the Fleet is threatened.

Lovelace was once merely a ship's artificial intelligence. When she wakes up in an new body, following a total system shut-down and reboot, she has to start over in a synthetic body, in a world where her kind are illegal. She's never felt so alone. But she's not alone, not really. Pepper, one of the engineers who risked life and limb to reinstall Lovelace, is determined to help her adjust to her new world. Because Pepper knows a thing or two about starting over.

Lovelace era la inteligencia artificial de la Peregrina, una nave tuneladora. Tras despertarse en un nuevo cuerpo sintético después de un traumático reinicio y borrado de memoria, tendrá que empezar desde cero en un mundo donde los de su clase son considerados ilegales. Nunca se ha sentido tan sola. Pepper, una de las ingenieras que arriesgó su vida para reinstalar a Lovelace, se ha comprometido a ayudarle a adaptarse a su nueva vida. Porque Pepper sabe algunas cosas acerca de empezar desde cero. Juntas, Pepper y Lovey descubrirán que, aunque el universo sea un lugar inabarcable, dos personas pueden ser suficientes para llenarlo.

"Rosemary Harper se une a la tripulación de la Peregrina, una vieja nave tuneladora, sin saber muy bien qué esperar de su primer trabajo. Aunque la nave ha visto tiempos mejores, le ofrece un pequeño lugar al que llamar hogar durante un tiempo, algo de aventura en los confines más alejados de la galaxia y, lo que es más importante para ella, la oportunidad de dejar atrás su pasado.«¡Divertidísima!» Ann Leckie, autora de JUSTICIA AUXILIAR; «Atrevida y reflexiva, de una vasta imaginación y maravillosamente personal en los personajes que construye. Pero por encima de todo, está escrita con alegría y leerla resulta un placer.» Claire North, autora de LAS PRIMERAS QUINCE VIDAS DE HARRY AUGUST; «Un profundo y humano tour de force» THE GUARDIAN"

A principios del siglo XX la humanidad descubre un método revolucionario que permite a les astronautas sobrevivir en otros planetas gracias a suplementos biológicos sintéticos. Sin la fragilidad humana como limite, por fin es posible viajar a exoplanetas vecinos que albergan vida. Beneficiandose de estos avances, Ariadne O?Neill y su equipo exploran un sistema planetario a quince años luz de distancia del Sol. Su mision: estudiar la habitabilidad de esos mundos. Sin embargo, mientras Ariadne se adapta biologica y temporalmente, la vida en la Tierra se transforma. Enfrentandose a la posibilidad de volver a un planeta que ha olvidado a quienes se marcharon, Ariadne comienza a documentar las maravillas y peligros que afrontan en su mision con la esperanza de que alguien en la Tierra aun pueda escucharles.
