Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Various interstellar travellers of different species are stranded in a hotel together for a few days when the satellites they depend on to continue their journeys are destroyed in an accident. It took me a while at first trying to remember who was what species and hence their characteristics but once I got that sorted out, it was an enjoyable ride, if a little didactic in an "AUTHOR'S MESSAGE" way at times. But I found myself on the edge of my seat during the medical emergency towards the end. I gladly break my self-imposed rule and give The Galaxy, and the Ground Within five stars. This is the perfect tonic for the times we are in. It is rich with full-dimensioned characters, has no villain but circumstance, and will help you like other people more than when you started it. I have enjoyed all of the Wayfarer series books. But this one is on a whole other level. It is impossible for me to over-recommend it. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

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. With no water, no air, and no native life, the planet Gora is unremarkable. 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. If deep space is a highway, Gora is just your average truck stop. 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. 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. 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. Grounded, with nothing to do but wait, the trio-an exiled artist with an appointment to keep, a cargo runner at a personal crossroads, and a mysterious individual doing her best to help those on the fringes-are compelled to confront where they've been, where they might go, and what they are, or could be, to each other.

Un novelón. Sé que sigue sin ser el estilo de ciencia ficción o incluso de narrativa que mucha gente espera o que suele gustar, pero que bien hace lo que hace. Y a mi me tiene comprado.
Usa un accidente inusual para juntar un grupo diverso de alienigenas, ponerlos contra sus prejuicios y hablar de temas como que nos hace ser familia, las relaciones, la tradición, los tabúes sociales e incluso las consecuencias de la guerra así como el racismo (o especismo en este caso?). En si, podríamos decir que no hay trama y que se acerca más a una novela slice of life donde lo interesante son las interacciones de los personajes.
El tercer libro es uno de los que más resonó conmigo, pero no quita que todos los de este universo son especiales y muy bien construidos a su manera. Y creo, que 4 libros después tiene el estilo dominadisimo.
Si queréis un abrazo calentito, conocer personajes adorables y amables, emocionaros un poco con historias personales protagonizadas por aliens, este es vuestro libro.
Leed a Chambers, siempre es una buena opción. ( )
