author:  Becky Chambers 
description: &#8220;Great fun!&#8221; (Ann Leckie, author of <i>Ancillary Justice</i>)<br /><br />&#8220;A quietly profound, humane tour de force that tackles politics and gender issues with refreshing optimism.&#8221; (<i>The Guardian</i>)<br /><br />&#8220;Becky Chambers&#8217; debut is a joyous, optimistic space opera ... Although it isn&#8217;t shy about tackling Big Questions, <em>Planet</em> is a heart-warming debut novel that will restore your faith in science fiction (specifically) and humanity (in general).&#8221; (Tor.com)<br /><br />&#8220;One of the most enjoyable, brilliantly realized spacey SF novels I&#8217;ve read in ages.&#8221; (James Smythe, author of <i>The Echo</I> and <i>The Explorer</i>)<br /><br />&#8220;Humane and alien, adventurous and thoughtful, vast in its imagination and wonderfully personal in the characters it builds. But above all else, it is joyously written and a joy to read.&#8221; (Claire North, author of <i>The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August</i>)<br /><br />&#8220;[A] wonderfully imaginative and quirky novel [...] It is hard to believe that this is Becky Chambers&#8217; first novel, as it is so well constructed, imaginative, and fluently written.&#8221; (<em>Strange Horizons</em>)<br /><br />&#8220;There are so many amazing things about this book which I have tried to cover in my review, but to sum it up in one word I found this book to be: Perfect!&#8221; (Fantasy Book&#160;Review (Book of the Month; 10 out of 10))
