"A quietly profound, humane tour de force."  -  The Guardian 

Somewhere within our crowded sky, a crew of wormhole builders hops from planet to planet, on their way to the job of a lifetime. To the galaxy at large, humanity is a minor species, and one patched-up construction vessel is a mere speck on the star chart. This is an everyday sort of ship, just trying to get from here to there.

But all voyages leave their mark, and even the most ordinary of people have stories worth telling. A young Martian woman, hoping the vastness of space will put some distance between herself and the life she‘s left behind. An alien pilot, navigating life without her own kind. A pacifist captain, awaiting the return of a loved one at war. 

"A joyous, optimistic space opera... Although it isn't shy about tackling Big Questions, [The Long Way To A Small, Angry] Planet is a heart-warming debut novel that will restore your faith in science fiction (specifically) and humanity (in general)."  -  Tor.com

Follow a motley crew on an exciting journey through space - and one adventurous young explorer who discovers the meaning of family in the far reaches of the universe - in this light-hearted debut space opera from a rising sci-fi star.
