Becky Chambers以新人之姿自費出版、一舉奪下雨果獎，同時獲亞瑟克拉克及奇想之家等獎項等提名，更入圍同年度女性小說獎的壯闊星際史詩！
踏上老舊的Wayfarer號之前，Rosemary並未抱著多大期待，畢竟當時她迫切需要的，不過是一張床位，以及一個逃離過去的機會。
跨越種族與文化，甚至星球，Wayfarer的成員來自各地，外貌背景各異。船艦上的生活混亂又瘋狂(正合Rosemary的意)，同時也充滿驚奇與危險：他們接獲任務，奉命開鑿前往一處遙遠星球的蟲洞隧道，報酬儘管豐厚，但隨著Wayfarer往宇宙深處前進，前方等待著他們的，是同等巨大的危險與挑戰…
從同事逐漸成為夥伴，這場星際遠航，不只Rosemary，齊聚於此的Wayfarer成員們，也在日常生活與危難之際，一點一滴了解並學會信任彼此。各自懷揣祕密的這一方人，除了探索廣袤宇宙中的秘密，也將會在這場星際壯旅中，找到「家人」的意義。
The beloved debut novel that will restore your faith in humanity
#SmallAngryPlanet
When Rosemary Harper joins the crew of the Wayfarer, she isn''t expecting much. 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.
