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.PRAISE FOR THE WAYFARERS'Never less than deeply involving' DAILY MAIL'Explores the quieter side of sci-fi while still wowing us with daring leaps of imagination' iBOOKS'So much fun to read' HEAT'Chambers is simply an exceptional talent, quietly and beautifully redefining the space opera' TOR.COM'The most fun that I've had with a novel in a long, long time' iO9

In the future, instead of terraforming planets to sustain human life, explorers of the galaxy transform themselves.*FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR* 'Extraordinary . . . A future masterwork' Joanne HarrisAt the turn of the twenty-second century, scientists make a breakthrough in human spaceflight. Through a revolutionary method known as somaforming, astronauts can survive in hostile environments off Earth using synthetic biological supplementations. They can produce antifreeze in sub-zero temperatures, absorb radiation and convert it for food, and conveniently adjust to the pull of different gravitational forces. With the fragility of the body no longer a limiting factor, human beings are at last able to explore neighbouring exoplanets long suspected to harbour life.Ariadne is one such explorer. On a mission to ecologically survey four habitable worlds fifteen light-years from Earth, she and her fellow crewmates sleep while in transit, and wake each time with different features. But as they shift through both form and time, life back on Earth has also changed. Faced with the possibility of returning to a planet that has forgotten those who have left, Ariadne begins to chronicle the wonders and dangers of her journey, in the hope that someone back home might still be listening.PRAISE FOR THE WAYFARERS 'Becky Chambers is a wonder, and I feel better for having her books in my life' JOHN CONNOLLY'In a word, brilliant' ANDREW CALDECOTT'A short but fierce ode to humanity and all our reaches and flaws.

Willkommen an Bord der Wayfarer!Becky Chambers hat mit ›Der lange Weg zu einem kleinen zornigen Planeten‹ eine zutiefst optimistische Space Opera geschrieben, die uns den Glauben an die Science Fiction (im Besonderen) und an die Menschheit (im Allgemeinen) zurückgibt.Als die junge Marsianerin Rosemary Harper auf der Wayfarer anheuert, wird sie von äußerst gemischten Gefühlen heimgesucht – der ramponierte Raumkreuzer hat schon bessere Zeiten gesehen, und der Job scheint reine Routine: Wurmlöcher durchs Weltall zu bohren, um Verbindungswege zwischen weit entfernten Galaxien anzulegen, ist auf den ersten Blick alles andere als glamourös.Die Crewmitglieder, mit denen sie nun auf engstem Raum zusammenlebt, gehören den unterschiedlichsten galaktischen Spezies an. Da gibt es die Pilotin Sissix, ein freundliches und polyamoröses reptilienähnliches Wesen, den Mechaniker Jenks, der in die KI des Raumschiffs verliebt ist, und den weisen und gütigen Dr. Chef, der einer aussterbenden Spezies angehört.Doch dann nimmt Kapitän Ashby den ebenso profitablen wie riskanten Auftrag an, einen Raumtunnel zu einem weit entfernten Planeten anzulegen, auf dem die kriegerische Rasse der Toremi lebt. Für Rosemary verwandelt sich die Flucht vor der eigenen Vergangenheit in das größte Abenteuer ihres Lebens.›Der lange Weg zu einem kleinen zornigen Planeten‹ wurde für zahlreiche Preise nominiert, u.a. für den Kitschies Award, den Baileys Women''s Prize for Fiction und den Arthur C. Clarke Award.

»Zwischen zwei Sternen« ist Becky Chambers zweiter Science-Fiction-Roman aus dem Wayfarer-Universum – eine optimistische Space Opera mit High-Tech-Städten auf fremden Planeten, künstlichen Intelligenzen, außergewöhnlichen Aliens und einer gehörigen Portion Tiefgang.Früher hatte Lovelace ihre Augen und Ohren überall. Als KI-System der Wayfarer bekam sie alles mit, was auf ihrem Raumschiff passierte, und sie sorgte für das Wohlbefinden der Crew, für die Lovelace immer mehr eine Freundin war als nur ein System.Dann kam der totale Systemausfall. Ihre Crew sah nur eine Möglichkeit, Lovelace zu retten: ein Reboot all ihrer Systeme. Als sie aufwacht, ist sie in einem Bodykit gefangen, eingeschränkt auf modifizierte menschliche Körperfunktionen – in einer Gesellschaft, in der eine solche Umwandlung verboten ist.Doch Lovelace ist nicht allein: Pepper, eine chaotische Technikerin, die ihr Leben riskiert hat, um die künstliche Intelligenz zu retten, hilft Lovelace, ihren Platz in der Welt zu finden. Denn Pepper weiß selbst nur zu genau, wie es ist, ganz auf sich allein gestellt zu sein und das Universum neu kennenzulernen …Für Fans von Firefly, Mass Effect, Joss Whedon und Star Wars.»Herzerwärmend, nachdenklich und echte Science Fiction!« The Guardian

Science Fiction mit Tiefgang – ein Roman aus dem beliebten Wayfarer-Universum.Auf der Asteria, einem Siedlerschiff der exodanischen Flotte, ist für jeden gesorgt: Alle haben eine Wohnung, alle haben zu essen, alle haben einen Job – und leisten noch im Tod einen wertvollen Beitrag zur Gemeinschaft. Lichtjahre entfernt von der zerstörten Erde haben sich die Menschen ein wohldurchdachtes, selbstgenügsames Leben im Weltraum eingerichtet.Doch inzwischen sind ganze Generationen auf den Schiffen der Flotte geboren und aufgewachsen, und je selbstverständlicher das Siedlerdasein wird, desto größer sind die Zweifel: Bei Kip, der mit seinen 16 Jahren noch nicht weiß, was er mit seiner Zukunft anfangen will – außer dass sie sich definitiv nicht auf der Asteria abspielen soll. Bei Tessa, deren Alltag mit Job und Familie mehr als ausgefüllt ist – bis der technische Fortschritt sie einholt. Und bei der Archivarin Isabel, die sorgfältig die alten Traditionen bewahrt, die die Menschheit im Exil zusammenhalten sollen.Sie alle stehen vor der Frage: Warum auf einem Schiff bleiben, das sein Ziel längst erreicht hat?Für alle Fans von Ann Leckie, John Scalzi und Star Trek.»Becky Chambers ist eine starke neue Stimme in der Science Fiction.« phantastisch!»Aufwühlend, warmherzig und mitreißend.« Joanne Harris, Autorin von Chocolat
