Mary Robinette Kowal continues her Hugo and Nebula award-winning Lady Astronaut series, following The Calculating Stars and The Fated Sky, with The Relentless Moon.
The
Earth is coming to the boiling point as the climate disaster of the
Meteor strike becomes more and more clear, but the political situation
is already overheated. Riots and sabotage plague the space program. The
IAC’s goal of getting as many people as possible off Earth before it
becomes uninhabitable is being threatened.
Elma York is on her
way to Mars, but the Moon colony is still being established. Her friend
and fellow Lady Astronaut Nicole Wargin is thrilled to be one of those
pioneer settlers, using her considerable flight and political skills to
keep the program on track. But she is less happy that her husband, the
Governor of Kansas, is considering a run for President.
