“The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet”by Becky Chambers
Follow a motley crew on anexciting journey through space-and one adventurous young explorer who discoversthe meaning of family in the far reaches of the universe-in this light-hearteddebut space opera from a rising sci-fi star.
Rosemary Harper doesn’t expect much when she joins the crew of the agingWayfarer. While the patched-up ship has seen better days, it offers her a bed,a chance to explore the far-off corners of the galaxy, and most importantly,some distance from her past. An introspective young woman who learned early tokeep to herself, she’s never met anyone remotely like the ship’s diverse crew,including Sissix, the exotic reptilian pilot, chatty engineers Kizzy and Jenkswho keep the ship running, and Ashby, their noble captain.
Life aboard the Wayfarer is chaotic and crazy—exactly what Rosemary wants. It’salso about to get extremely dangerous when the crew is offered the job of alifetime. Tunneling wormholes through space to a distant planet is definitelylucrative and will keep them comfortable for years. But risking her life wasn’tpart of the plan. In the far reaches of deep space, the tiny Wayfarer crew willconfront a host of unexpected mishaps and thrilling adventures that force themto depend on each other. To survive, Rosemary’s got to learn how to rely onthis assortment of oddballs—an experience that teaches her about love andtrust, and that having a family isn’t necessarily the worst thing in theuniverse.
