Underground, Haruki Murakami Alfred Birnbaum (Translated ) - Shop Online for Books in Australia The Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche By Haruki Murakami, Alfred Birnbaum (Translated by), Philip Gabriel (Translated by) Free Shipping Worldwide The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers In the Galactic Commons, humanity is a minor player. Though they have carved a niche for themselves among their alien neighbors, this small, wandering race of merchants and modders is of little concern to the galaxy at large. To most, humans aren't much to worry about. Amidst the noise and bluster of a very crowded sky, an insignificant ship of wormhole builders -- better known as tunnelers -- makes its quiet way around the stars, punching holes in space. The ship is the Wayfarer, and its crew is an unremarkable one. They are not heroes, nor will they ever be anyone of galactic importance.
