Once, Lovelace had eyes and ears everywhere. She was a ship's artificial intelligence system - possessing a personality and very human emotions. But when her ship was badly damaged, Lovelace was forced to reboot and reset. Now housed in an illegal synthetic body, she's never felt so isolated. But Lovelace is not alone. Pepper, an engineer who risked her life to reinstall Lovelace's program, has remained by her side and is determined to help her.

Better than the first one in the Wayfarer series
5 stars
This is a relatively short book using two narrative threads focused on how interactions of humans with self-aware artificial intelligence systems could look like in a very distant future. While the first Wayfarer story introduced well the universe and alien species, this second book has a better pace and was more enjoyable overall. Still, it is probably better to read them in order.

This book was surprisingly different from the first one, but I loved it nonetheless. Interesting structure with two parallel stories told in alternating chapters. Could not put it down once I got past the halfway point.

Really should be 4.5 stars. Even more enjoyable than the first book in the series.
