#SmallAngryPlanet

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.
