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.
Action packed too!

So many errors, but a great book

My only complaint is that every single time the narrator says "anti-grav" is where the text edition I have says "arti-grav", and it's a little jarring every time. In the context of the story it also doesn't make any sense, as an anti-grav would remove gravity but an arti-grav is what they use to create artificial gravity. But really it's a fairly minor problem with a top class audio production.
Awesome book, excellently read

75% of it felt like a masturbatory fever dream about how it would feel like to be a young explorative young woman and have sex with a rainbow unicorn, and also learn the intricancies of how their hooves are to be kept and what hay is best suitable for post-coital shenanigans while in a low orbit spin of <insert techno jargon here to make the unicorn sex feel more real>
I would like more. Fun.
A furry fanfiction, but not, and actually good
