Deep Navigation is a collection of short stories by Alastair Reynolds. It was published in February 2010 for the 47th annual Boskone Science Fiction Convention where Reynolds was the Guest of Honour. All the stories published in this anthology had been published previously, but several of them had been out of print for several years, including his first ever published story "Nunivak Snowflakes".
