The Third in the Hugo, Nebula and Locus Award-Winning Series

Two worlds. One humanity.

It’s 1963, and riots and sabotage plague the space program. The climate change caused by the Meteor is becoming more and more clear, but tensions are rising, and the IAC’s goal of getting humanity off Earth is threatened.

Astronaut Nicole Wargin lives two lives; one as a politican’s smiling wife on Earth, and the other as an astronaut on the newly-established Moon Base. But when sabotage strikes, she finds that her two worlds are colliding – with deadly consequences.

“Kowal masters both science and historical accuracy in this alternate history adventure.” — Andy Weir

In The Calculating Stars, Mary Robinette Kowal imagines an alternate history of spaceflight that reminds me of everything I loved about Hidden Figures.” — Cady Coleman, Astronaut

“This is what NASA never had, a heroine with attitude.” — The Wall Street Journal

We are delighted to share the stunning cover art for the UK edition of The Relentless Moon, from Hugo and Nebula award-winning author Mary Robinette Kowal, which was revealed on SciFiNow.

Read a short excerpt with our friends at SciFiNow.

 

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.

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.

The Relentless Moon is out from Solaris for UK/BC readers in eBook 20 July and paperback 26 November – pre-order now.
