I’m continually confronted with the human tendency to ignore or deny facts until the last possible instant. And then for several days after that, too.

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet is the 2014 debut science fiction novel …
The basic storyline of this book is nothing entirely out of the ordinary: Space crew gets dangerous but lucrative job offer, travels to their destinations, stuff happens there and along the way. You can take the title literally: it's a long way but only a small planet (episode).
