Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers
It is set to be released on July 26, 2018, by Hodder & Stoughton.
I haven’t read the first two but I figure, why not marathon read the series? I have heard more positive things about the series. It’s character driven. I am curious about the plot itself and see how it’ll flow.
I love the cover. It is so beautiful. The colors combo works. It works well with the first two novels. I also like how we can read the typography but at the same time, it flows with the colors of the space.
From the ground, we stand. From our ship, we live. By the stars, we hope
The incredible new novel by Becky Chambers, author of the beloved The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet.
Hundreds of years ago, the last humans left Earth. After centuries wandering empty space, humanity was welcomed – mostly – by the species that govern the Milky Way, and their generational journey came to an end.
But this is old history. Today, the Exodus Fleet is a living relic, a place many are from but few outsiders have seen. When a disaster rocks this already fragile community, those Exodans who have not yet left for alien cities struggle to find their way in an uncertain future. Among them are a mother, a young apprentice, an alien academic, a caretaker for the dead, a man searching for a place to belong, and an archivist, who ensures no one’s story is forgotten. Each has their own voice, but all seek answers to inescapable questions:
Why remain among the stars when there are habitable worlds within reach? And what is the purpose of a ship that has reached its destination?
