Moss is a pilot aboard the Rusty Raccoon, a trash collection ship traveling through interstellar space. Moss is sleepwalking through existence, but when she stumbles across her supervisor Turnip attempting to flee the ship, she's forced to wake up. By happenstance and Moss's own hesitant cooperation, Turnip technically kidnaps Moss-legally speaking. Using Turnip's engineering know-how and Moss's piloting expertise, they travel through the stars, stealing ships from the rich, dodging the Galactic United Peace Patrol Implementers, and enjoying all the absurdity that the universe has to offer. Moss doesn't know where Turnip is taking them, but discovering herself along the way is a worthy exchange.

Wonderful cozy sci-fi submitted by rshah on June 26, 2025, 9:50am Su does a wonderful job bringing you into Moss and Turnip’s world and making you feel like you’re a part of the journey. The reveal of what the book title means was honestly perfect, lovely, and hilarious. And that really describes the entire book. I really hope there’s a sequel because I need to know what happens to Moss and Turnip (and The Spawn; especially The Spawn). I also really hope word about this book spread because it and Leanne Su really deserve a massive audience.
