The Cleaner, the Cat and the Space Station by Fay Abernethy blends cozy science fiction with light fantasy as an alien-run orbital station secretly shields Earth from hostile forces. Hanna Abebe, an undocumented cleaner in London, is pulled from a life on the streets into a hidden training school for Shantivira fighter pilots, only to suspect betrayal among the recruits. On Dartmoor, horse rider Lucy Cooper encounters a shapeshifter who offers her a place on the same programme, while a shadowy group pressures her to spy on the station’s true intentions. Above them all, bored station captain Joe Llewellyn faces an unexpected crisis when an asteroid strike on the International Space Station forces him to reveal the existence of aliens, drawing these intertwined human and non-human loyalties into open conflict.
