Chaotic Orbits

Now collected into a beautiful omnibus edition, this romantic sci-fi trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Beth Revis is perfect for fans of Martha Wells

When Ada, a charming grifter, crosses paths with Rian, a no-nonsense government agent, the ensuing chaos will lead them across the stars—and into each other’s arms

"All three books should be read in one deeply satisfying weekend spree." —Library Journal, Best Books 2025

Ada Lamarr has a very good reason for being the first at the wreckage of an intergalactic ship. If Rian White, leader of the government ship sent to examine the remains, can't tell truth from lie when it comes to her excuses, well, that's his problem. And Ada has absolutely no issue whatsoever being his problem—in fact, when Rian's in the picture, she's determined to do the wrong thing. Whether looting an "off limits" shipwreck, stealing something from a high-security museum at an intergalactic gala, or pulling off the heist of the millennia at a trillionaire's home base, Ada always has a plan.

Even when Rian corners her.

In this collection of all three of the original Chaotic Orbits novellas, readers can follow Ada's elaborate cat-and-mouse schemes and the will-they-won't-they temptation of a romance with Rian. Featuring a new, exclusive short story told from Rian's point of view, fans will love this epic spacemance from the reigning queen of romantic science fiction!
