  And Miles to Go Before I Sleep by William F. Nolan - He knew, to the exact minute, when he was going to die. And Earth was too far away to reach.... 
  Alone within the humming ship, deep in its honeycombed metal chambers, Murdock waited for death. While the rocket moved inexorably toward Earth—an immense silver needle threading the dark fabric of space—he waited calmly through the final hours, knowing that the verdict was absolute, that hope no longer existed. 
  Electronically self-sufficient, the ship was doing its job perfectly, the job it had been built to do. After twenty years in space, the ship was taking Robert Murdock home. 
  Home. Earth. Thayerville, a small town in Kansas. Clean air, a shaded street, and a white, two-story house at the end of the block. Home—after two decades among the stars. 
  Sitting quietly before the round port, seeing and not seeing the endless darkness surrounding him, Murdock was remembering. 
  He remembered the worried face of his mother, her whispered prayers for his safety as he mounted the rocket ramp those twenty years ago; he could still feel the final, crushing handshake of his father moments before the outer airlock slid closed. His mother had been 55 then, his father 63. It was almost impossible to believe that they were now old and white-haired. 
  And what of himself? 
  He was now 41, and space had weathered him as the plains of Kansas had weathered his father. He, too, had labored as his father had labored—but on strange, alien worlds, under suns far hotter than Sol. Murdock's face was square and hard-featured, his eyes dark and deep under thrusting ledges of bone. He had changed as they had changed. 
  He was a stranger going home to strangers. 
  Carefully, Murdock unfolded his mother's last letter, written in her flowery, archaic hand, and received just before Earth take-off.

  Home. Kaishi can see Earth, but between her and home sits a hostile fleet, a desolate wasteland, and too many things that want her dead. 
  Her sole chance at survival depends on a risky attempt to reach Earth's far side, where nobody Kaishi knows has ever been. Landing there means a long journey home, but it's better than dying in space. Except the Earth Kaishi finds when they reach the surface is far different than the one she knows, and learning why the ground is covered in ash will mean questioning everything she thought she knew about her tribe, and her species. 
  Meanwhile, Sax learns that he's far from the only one looking to end the corruption taking root at the galaxy's core. This rebel group isn't quick to take on new members, and Sax finds he has to use his wits and claws to fight for what he believes. That is, if he can survive a hostile world and old grudges long enough to join his true cause. 
  Creator's End is the fourth book in The Skyward Saga, a sci-fi adventure series that brings peril, heart, and fascinating technology in equal measure as Kaishi and Sax look to save their species and themselves,
