Mary Robinette Kowal continues to reveal her grandiose world in alternate history, begun in her novel Calculating the Stars. Her new novel, Rock of Heaven, takes us to 1961, when humanity has already settled on the moon and is eagerly awaiting the next step: traveling to and colonizing Mars.
Of course, Elma York, also known as the Astronaut Lady, would like to fly to Mars, but much depends on who the International Aerospace Coalition decides to send on this historic but potentially very dangerous mission. Will Elma be able to leave her husband and the opportunity to start a family to spend a few years traveling to Mars? And with the civil rights movement unfolding on Earth, will the astronaut pool continue to grow and, more importantly, will these men and women of all races be treated fairly when they reach their destination? This fascinating look at the real conflicts behind the fantastic space race will force a new look at our ideas of how history might have unfolded.
