Description
The extraordinary new novel by Becky Chambers, author of the beloved debut novel The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet: 'a quietly profound, humane tour de force.' (Guardian)
PRAISE FOR THE WAYFARERS
Never less than deeply involving
Chambers is simply an exceptional talent
So much fun to read
Joyously written and a joy to read.
The most fun that I've had with a novel in a long, long time
Explores the quieter side of sci-fi while still wowing us with daring leaps of imagination
Exceptional... Chambers is a true talent and writer to watch
Warm, engaging, properly science-fictional, A Closed and Common Orbit is a very likable novel indeed
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
