A heartwarming and character-driven space opera, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet is the acclaimed first novel in Becky Chambers' beloved Wayfarers series.

When Rosemary Harper joins the crew of the ageing tunnelling ship Wayfarer, she's hoping for a fresh start and a chance to leave her troubled past behind. Instead, she finds herself part of a wonderfully unconventional family made up of humans and alien species, each with their own secrets, quirks, and stories to tell.

Life aboard the Wayfarer is never dull, but everything changes when the crew accepts a lucrative mission to construct a hyperspace tunnel to a distant planet. The journey will take them across dangerous regions of space, through fragile political alliances, and into situations where trust, friendship, and courage are tested at every turn.

Filled with unforgettable characters, imaginative world-building, humour, and heart, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet is a modern science fiction classic that celebrates found family, diversity, and the connections that bring people together even across the stars.
