Join us for our March book club discussion of The Fated Sky by Mary Robinette Kowal. This is the second in a science fiction alternate history series about a female astronaut’s journey towards Mars.
From the Publisher:
Continuing the grand sweep of alternate history laid out in The Calculating Stars, The Fated Sky looks forward to 1961, when mankind is well-established on the moon and looking forward to its next step: journeying to, and eventually colonizing, Mars. Of course the noted Lady Astronaut Elma York would like to go, but could the International Aerospace Coalition ever stand the thought of putting a woman on such a potentially dangerous mission? Could Elma knowingly take the place of other astronauts who have been overlooked because of their race? And could she really leave behind her husband and the chance to start a family? This gripping look at the real conflicts behind a fantastical space race will put a new spin on our visions of what might have been.
Meet us virtually on March 19 at 5 p.m. Eastern for this book discussion by RSVPing via Facebook Events. Please visit Main Point Books online to order your copy of The Fated Sky or the other books in the Lady Astronaut series for delivery or in-store pickup.
