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.
