SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILEY'S WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION
'A quietly profound, humane tour de force' Guardian
The beloved debut novel that will restore your faith in humanity
#SmallAngryPlanet
When Rosemary Harper joins the crew of the Wayfarer, she isn't expecting much. The ship, which has seen better days, offers her everything she could possibly want: a small, quiet spot to call home for a while, adventure in far-off corners of the galaxy, and distance from her troubled past.
But Rosemary gets more than she bargained for with the Wayfarer. The crew is a mishmash of species and personalities, from Sissix, the friendly reptillian pilot, to Kizzy and Jenks, the constantly sparring engineers who keep the ship running. Life on board is chaotic, but more or less peaceful - exactly what Rosemary wants.
Until the crew are offered the job of a lifetime: the chance to build a hyperspace tunnel to a distant planet. They'll earn enough money to live comfortably for years... if they survive the long trip through war-torn interstellar space without endangering any of the fragile alliances that keep the galaxy peaceful.
But Rosemary isn't the only person on board with secrets to hide, and the crew will soon discover that space may be vast, but spaceships are very small indeed.

Enkel och opretentiös men ändå med många fina dimensioner i berättelsen. Detsamma gäller böckerna som följer i serien, alla med sin egen historia.

Solid bok. Handlar mer om personer och relationer än makt och våld.

Mys-sf i Firefly-stil.

Tror det är första gången jag läser en feelgood sci-fi och det var en trevlig upplevelse. Mysig och samtidigt komplex värld att vara i, älskvärda karaktärer, härlig ton. En bra mix mellan mys och action. Berör många intressanta teman på ett annorlunda, och många gånger ganska roligt, sätt. Vore kul att se en tv-serie i denna värld.

Toppenfin bok om vänskap, lojalitet och att utvecklas tillsammans med andra. Inte någon klassisk sf till stil, men under ytan är det ändå så typiskt sf att ta tag i de här frågorna. Jag tycker att den tappade lite mot slutet, men mycket läsvärd och väldigt mysig bok.

Very charming, reminds me a lot of Farscape: aliens full of imagination, episodic storytelling with character growth. But not completely sold either, somehow it left me felling somewhat unsatisfied.

Until now I didn't know what the sad puppies meant by "boring message-fic". This is just unbelievably boring. The thin plot is only there as a bridge between the identity political progaganda. It feels like reading The Hitchhiker's Guide but will all fun parts removed!

Amazing! Original! The Wayfarer series is among the best written books I have ever read.

Händer absolut 0. Bara en massa onödig dialog. Riktigt dålig.
