About this listen
The Sunday Time best seller.
From the ground, we stand. From our ship, we live. By the stars, we hope.
The incredible new audiobook by Becky Chambers, author of the beloved The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet.
#SpacebornFew
Centuries after the last humans left Earth, the Exodus Fleet is a living relic, a place many are from but few outsiders have seen. Humanity has finally been accepted into the galactic community, but while this has opened doors for many, those who have not yet left for alien cities fear that their carefully cultivated way of life is under threat.
Tessa chose to stay home when her brother, Ashby, left for the stars but has to question that decision when her position in the Fleet is threatened.
Kip, a reluctant young apprentice, itches for change but doesn't know where to find it.
Sawyer, a lost and lonely newcomer, is just looking for a place to belong.
When a disaster rocks this already fragile community, those Exodans who still call the Fleet their home can no longer avoid the inescapable question:
What is the purpose of a ship that has reached its destination?

Great
Enjoyed this on going series. I don’t think all the numbers etc are needed to get the idea of storyline. That I find boring, but overall a good book.

Unique
Becky Chambers; a singular voice in science fiction bringing a humanity to our future like no one else ever has. Absolutely beautifully written and a story of life affirming beauty.
Patricia Rodriguez; the perfect narrator sets this book alive with absolutely sublime reading.
Not full of space battles and laser beams but rather a more profound and intimate look at life in space amongst aliens and the stars.

novel
For the novelty. rather philosophical at times or maybe it was just me. not one story but many. vaguely connected but connected all the same as humans. Rather different from the first in the series. still worth it

Enjoyable
An enjoyable story, even if it lacked a little in action compared with the first two.

Worth Every Moment
When I first read Record of a Spaceborn Few, I didn’t really ‘get’ it. But now,, after many readings and listening, I think I’m starting to, and I think that’s the point after all, isn’t it, Becky? I’m going to read it again soon, but first I’m returning to The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet again. I think there may be still more to gain from it. So many thanks.

Simply Wonderful
If you like the way (as in her first two books) Becky Chambers explores humanity through what feels like real people, then this book will not disappoint.

A great addition to the story
I’m such a fan of these stories! Interesting, funny & thought provoking. Becky Chambers is a masterful storyteller & makes us care not only about the issues raised in the novel but the characters as well.

Oh stars! Love love loved it!
I adore the world Chambers has created. Her characters are so good and relatable to a contemporary reader despite their lives being set far in an imaginary future. The way Chambers introduces new people but still keeps them linked to the ones we’ve read about before is awesome!

Sweet. better than book 2
Better than book 2. Still not as good as book 1. Really hoping Chambers returns to the wayfarer crew next.
