'Smart, bold and so much fun . . . I'm officially a member of the Grace Curtis fan club' AMIE KAUFMAN

The Grand Budapest Hotel in space, Floating Hotel is a hopeful story of misfits, rebels and found family, perfect for fans of Becky Chambers, Martha Wells and Aliette de Bodard.

Welcome to the Grand Abeona Hotel: home of the finest food, the sweetest service, and the very best views the galaxy has to offer. Year-round, it moves from planet to planet, system to system, pampering guests across the furthest reaches of the Milky Way. The last word in sub-orbital luxury - and a magnet for intrigue. Intrigues such as:

  • Why are there love poems in the lobby intray?
  • How many Imperial spies are currently on board?
  • What is the true purpose of the Problem Solver's conference?
  • And perhaps most pertinently - who is driving the ship?

At the centre of these mysteries stands Carl, one-time stowaway, longtime manager, devoted caretaker to the hotel. It's the love of his life and the only place he's ever called home. But as forces beyond Carl's comprehension converge on the Abeona, he has to face one final question: when is it time to let go?

About the Author

Grace Curtis is a freeroaming writer from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Her debut Frontier, a queer space western about climate change (really), came out in March last year. The follow up Floating Hotel was a bestseller in the UK. When she's not dreaming up stories, Grace can usually be found up a hill somewhere, climbing or hiking or lolling idly in the grass. Idolfire is her first work of fantasy. There will be more!
