![]() ![]() When 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. 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. At 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. If deep space is a highway, Gora is just your average truck stop. 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. With no water, no air, and no native life, the planet Gora is unremarkable. National Bestseller! Return 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. ![]()

I set down the blueprint, and all the architects started adding on this level and that level. Then the younger generation came in and started putting their spin on what I had started. They became a rite of passage for young people in the Bronx. Instead, the parties I gave happened to catch on. Because the management, they wanted something bad to happen. I asked my friends to not start any trouble around here. And my mom helped us out when we gave the party. He said, “This is what you wanna do? You love music?” I said, I love it.

Every sentence is read with the same urgency and earnestness. Probably much like early indigenous communities.

As an audiobook, though, there wasn't enough story to really gain traction.
