The only thing it has going for it is a chance proximity to more popular worlds, making it a decent stopover for ships traveling between the wormholes that keep the Galactic Commons connected. If deep space is a highway, Gora is just your average truck stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the Five-Hop One-Stop, a bastion of cozy sci-fi comfort, long-haul spacers can stretch their legs (if they have legs, that is), and get fuel, transit permits, and assorted supplies. The Five-Hop is run by an enterprising alien and her sometimes helpful child, who work hard to provide a little piece of home to everyone passing through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a freak technological failure halts all traffic to and from Gora, three strangers--all different species with different aims--are thrown together at the Five-Hop. Grounded, with nothing to do but wait, the trio--an exiled artist with an appointment to keep, a cargo runner at a personal crossroads, and a mysterious individual doing her best to help those on the fringes--are compelled to confront where they've been, where they might go, and what they are, or could be, to each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAuthor: Becky Chambers\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePrefer Audiobook? \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tidd.ly\/4wGR59r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eListen Here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eNational Bestseller!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHugo Award Finalist - Novel, 2022\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Chambers' books are celebrated for their warmth, compassion, and diverse characters, but it's also worth noting that her worldbuilding is top-notch; it's a delight to spend more time in this universe.\" - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eB\u0026amp;N Sci-fi and Fantasy Blog\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"For fans of character-driven science fiction who are interested in how differences can be a source of strength, not weakness.\" -\u003cem\u003e \u003ci\u003eBooklist (starred review)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Voyager","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51962721337632,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/4465\/0272\/files\/galaxyandthegroundwithin.jpg?v=1783607949","url":"https:\/\/side-plot.myshopify.com\/products\/the-galaxy-and-the-ground-within-wayfarers-4","provider":"Side Plot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
