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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the Five-Hop One-Stop, a bastion of cozy sci-fi comfort, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0062936042\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780062936042\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Chambers, Becky\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Harper Voyager\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Harper Voyager","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Apr 2021)","offer_id":45937291002053,"sku":"9780062936042","price":18.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780062936042.jpg?v=1772856869","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/the-galaxy-and-the-ground-within","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
