"Rosemary Harper doesn’t expect much when she joins the crew of the aging Wayfarer.
While the patched-up ship has seen better days, it offers her a bed, a
chance to explore the far-off corners of the galaxy, and most
importantly, some distance from her past. An introspective young woman
who learned early to keep to herself, she’s never met anyone remotely
like the ship’s diverse crew, including Sissix, the exotic reptilian
pilot, chatty engineers Kizzy and Jenks who keep the ship running, and
Ashby, their noble captain.
Life aboard the Wayfarer is
chaotic and crazy—exactly what Rosemary wants. It’s also about to get
extremely dangerous when the crew is offered the job of a lifetime.
Tunneling wormholes through space to a distant planet is definitely
lucrative and will keep them comfortable for years. But risking her life
wasn’t part of the plan. In the far reaches of deep space, the tiny Wayfarer
crew will confront a host of unexpected mishaps and thrilling
adventures that force them to depend on each other. To survive,
Rosemary’s got to learn how to rely on this assortment of oddballs—an
experience that teaches her about love and trust, and that having a
family isn’t necessarily the worst thing in the universe."--Goodreads blurb
I was recommended this book by someone who said they had never read a science fiction book with so many characters where you cared about so many characters. This books changes perspectives, starting out with a character you get the impression was the main character, but hearing from everyone's perspective gave me that main character feeling for everyone. I had to get used that, but it was a great way to be an immersive participant in the story. I loved hearing about all the different species (is that even the correct word?) of all the inhabitants of the different planets and using my imagination to put a face with those descriptions. Great writing and story, and I will be picking up the next in this series, for sure!
