{"product_id":"the-galaxy-and-the-ground-becky-chambers-9781799957218","title":"The Galaxy, and the Ground Within","description":"\u003cp\u003eReturn to the sprawling, Hugo Award-winning universe of the Galactic Commons to explore another corner of the cosmos--one often mentioned, but not yet explored--in this absorbing entry in the Wayfarers series, which blends heart-warming characters and imaginative adventure.With no water, no air, and no native life, the planet Gora is unremarkable. 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\u003cp\u003eAt the Five-Hop One-Stop, 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\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Becky Chambers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1799957217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781799957218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e HarperCollins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e MP3 CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.70h x 5.30w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Hugo Award - Finalist","brand":"Becky Chambers","offers":[{"title":"MP3 CD","offer_id":47425395327231,"sku":"9781799957218","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_889e9146-1151-482a-ad57-da376bd2e03a.jpg?v=1761538927","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-galaxy-and-the-ground-becky-chambers-9781799957218","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
