The stories are about the societal and technical challenges that face the characters involved in reaching that goal of colonizing alien worlds. At the core of the series lies the principle that if space is the future of humanity, then the process of humanity’s movement beyond the confines of Earth should involve all elements of that humanity. The third novel in this series, The Relentless Moon, is due from Tor Books in 2020, meaning that you have plenty of time to catch up if you haven’t yet experienced this series of positivity and hope.Ĭombining alternate history with science fiction, the series tells a story both progressive and uplifting. Additionally, she has also taken the story back to its “origins,” starting a series of Lady Astronaut novels with The Calculating Stars and The Fated Sky. Since then, Kowal has revisited the universe of that novelette with additional short stories, including “The Phobos Experience” in an issue of last summer’s The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. The Hugo-winning story subsequently saw print. Mary Robinette Kowal’s Lady Astronaut series began in 2012 when published her novelette “The Lady Astronaut of Mars” within RIP-OFF, an original audiobook anthology.
