 'The best speculative fiction currently being written' John Connolly

*THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER AND HUGO AWARD WINNER FOR BEST SERIES*

From the ground, we stand. From our ship, we live. By the stars, we hope.

The incredible new novel by Becky Chambers, author of the beloved The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet.

#SpacebornFew

Centuries after the last humans left Earth, the Exodus Fleet is a living relic, a place many are from but few outsiders have seen. Humanity has finally been accepted into the galactic community, but while this has opened doors for many, those who have not yet left for alien cities fear that their carefully cultivated way of life is under threat.

Tessa chose to stay home when her brother Ashby left for the stars, but has to question that decision when her position in the Fleet is threatened.

Kip, a reluctant young apprentice, itches for change but doesn't know where to find it.

Sawyer, a lost and lonely newcomer, is just looking for a place to belong.

When a disaster rocks this already fragile community, those Exodans who still call the Fleet their home can no longer avoid the inescapable question:

What is the purpose of a ship that has reached its destination?

Ce que les critiques en disent

PRAISE FOR RECORD OF A SPACEBORN FEW:
The best speculative fiction currently being written . . . Becky Chambers is a wonder, and I feel better for having her books in my life
Richly human, believable [and] compelling . . . underlain with a deep compassion and a feeling for community
Terrific. . . a masterly exploration of characterisation and diversity wrapped in intensity, heartbreak and tension
An intensely powerful and multifaceted meditation on time, history, change, and memory, leavened with a welcome touch of humor . . . This is a superb work from one of the genre's rising stars.
This novel was exactly what I hoped it would be and more . . . Moving in what feels like small personal ways but is actually big, universal ways and it is uplifting on the same scale
An emotional, moving look at what it means to be human, and the importance of heritage and legacy
Both fascinating and entertaining... Becky's portrayal of humanity is generous, kind and honest
Checks all the boxes . . . driven by well-drawn, likable, and diverse characters in a complex future world.
'Relatable characters in a fascinating universe . . . the writing uplifts and captivates'
Beautifully written and fascinating
PRAISE FOR THE WAYFARERS:
Deeply moving... the sparky empathy of Chambers' writing [draws] you into these strange creatures' hearts and minds in a way that is never less than deeply involving.
A joyous, optimistic space opera... Although it isn't shy about tackling Big Questions, Planet is a heart-warming debut novel that will restore your faith in science fiction (specifically) and humanity (in general).
A quietly profound, humane tour de force'
Becky Chambers writes aliens like no one else ... the only flaw in this series is you'll wish you could spend more time with all of them

Teenage angst in a light space environment. Very slight movements in plot. A safe play.

Becky chambers books are amazing, but they don't really have a strong leading plot line. personally I love that you are just witnessing people living their life and exploring what it means to be human but if you are looking for a si-fi with lots of action and drama, this isn't it

another great story

I love this series so much, Chambers creates magic and wonder!
the narrator was nice, great job using different voices for different characters without it being weird or annoying

another brilliant addition by Becky Chambers

So many unnecessary details. I couldn’t finish it - I tried a few times but just couldn’t do it. I don’t have a short attention span nor do I dislike details but man, this was agonizing for me. If the details helped me connect with the characters, enrich the story or paint interesting visuals… but no.

Incredibly boring
