About this listen
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!
SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILEY'S WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION
The beloved debut novel that will restore your faith in humanity
When Rosemary Harper joins the crew of the Wayfarer, she isn't expecting much. The ship, which has seen better days, offers her everything she could possibly want: a small, quiet spot to call home for a while, adventure in far-off corners of the galaxy, and distance from her troubled past.
But Rosemary gets more than she bargained for with the Wayfarer. The crew is a mishmash of species and personalities, from Sissix, the friendly reptillian pilot, to Kizzy and Jenks, the constantly sparring engineers who keep the ship running. Life on board is chaotic, but more or less peaceful - exactly what Rosemary wants.
Until the crew are offered the job of a lifetime: the chance to build a hyperspace tunnel to a distant planet. They'll earn enough money to live comfortably for years... if they survive the long trip through war-torn interstellar space without endangering any of the fragile alliances that keep the galaxy peaceful.
But Rosemary isn't the only person on board with secrets to hide, and the crew will soon discover that space may be vast, but spaceships are very small indeed.
Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration and complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration so that listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Completely immersing
The music and sounds effects are completely enthralling and really helped build the Wayfarer universe. I can’t imagine listening to an audiobook without the added audio effects now.

Wonderful story but
I've read this book before and loved it so liked the idea of listening to it. Unfortunately I didn't enjoy the audio book as much as I should have.
First I was aware of a number of reading errors; most notably the word "artigrav" which appears throughout the book, was consistently read as "antigrav" which completely changes the meaning and doesn't make sense.
Secondly the narrator's voice was too soothing which made it hard to stay awake when I was listening at night.
I still enjoyed it. It's a grest story and over all the reading is very good.

I've listened to this almost 50 times
I love this book so much, everyone in it is so nice and caring about eachother - I don't care if it's unrealistic for a story - I'm sick of stories where people don't sort their problems out by talking or by getting along. This is my favourite audiobook of all time.
It is elevated so much by the narration of Patricia - giving so much character to everyone in the story.
I listen to this book to calm down or if I want to cry.

boring book
found the booktrack sounds super distracting. I don't recommend this version. Actually I don't recommend the book itself. so so boring.

background musac drove me mad
I didn't make it past the second chapter, the sound effects and repetative musac drove me crazy.
