The Galaxy and the Ground Within by Becky Chambers
The planet Gora is totally unremarkable. It has no air, no water, no plants or wildlife. But its location at the crossroads of several galactic wormholes that connect the galaxy have made Gora the equivalent of a galactic truck stop. It's a place to refuel, pick up some snacks and supplies, get a transit permit, and stretch your legs (if you have legs).
Several vessels are docked at the Five Hop One Stop when a technology glitch forces three travelers from different species to remain on the planet for longer than they had planned. During their wait for the malfunction to be corrected, they are forced to confront questions about who they are, where have they been, and where are they going, as well as their feelings about alien species.
This is the fourth and final book in the Wayfarers series, and I'm really sorry to see it end. The first and fourth books are the best in the series. I look forward to reading the new series that Becky Chambers has planned.
Per Becky Chambers, a galactic wormhole is a shortcut from one part of the galaxy to another
