All the main characters were aliens and I wasn’t really sure what I was getting myself into. I’ll be honest and say that I was somewhat hesitant about this book as I started. The Galaxy, and the Ground Within does this well. Becky Chambers has found a unique way to look at people’s lifes in a science-fiction setting and manages to play with your heartstrings. If there is one series that I will always praise highly it has to be the Wayfarers series.
Grounded, with nothing to do but wait, the trio-an exiled artist with an appointment to keep, a cargo runner at a personal crossroads, and a mysterious individual doing her best to help those on the fringes-are compelled to confront where they’ve been, where they might go, and what they are, or could be, to each other. When a freak technological failure halts all traffic to and from Gora, three strangers-all different species with different aims-are thrown together at the Five-Hop. The Five-Hop is run by an enterprising alien and her sometimes helpful child, who work hard to provide a little piece of home to everyone passing through. If deep space is a highway, Gora is just your average truck stop.Īt the Five-Hop One-Stop, long-haul spacers can stretch their legs (if they have legs, that is), and get fuel, transit permits, and assorted supplies. The only thing it has going for it is a chance proximity to more popular worlds, making it a decent stopover for ships traveling between the wormholes that keep the Galactic Commons connected. With no water, no air, and no native life, the planet Gora is unremarkable.
