Record of a Spaceborn Few is a slow moving story told in four parts with chapters alternating between several characters. Even more generations have passed and occasionally humans raised elsewhere emigrate back to find their roots in the Fleet. Since then there has been a slow, steady migration of Exodans from the fleet to explore what the galaxy has to offer. The GC brought much needed technology to the fleet such as anti-gravity and better engines. They wandered for generations until eventually making contact with the aliens of the Galactic Commons. This book is centered on The Exodus Fleet, the last humans to leave Earth when the environment collapsed hundreds of years ago. It tangentially ties into the first book as one of the main characters, Tessa Santoso, is sister to Captain Ashby Santoso, of the spaceship Wayfarer, in A Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. Record of a Spaceborn Few is the third book in the “Wayfarer Series”. Becky Chambers continues to keep me in awe of her writing.
