In an alternate 1952, a meteor strike triggers a rapid climate emergency and forces humanity to accelerate plans for space colonization. The story examines the technical, political, and human stakes of that race.

Elma York, a former WASP pilot turned mathematician, begins as a calculator for the International Aerospace Coalition. As she proves her skill, she challenges the era's gendered limits and argues that women should be part of the mission to the stars.

Winner of major science-fiction awards, the novel blends mid-century atmosphere, rigorous technical detail, and character-driven drama—appealing to readers of alternate-history and feminist science fiction.

  • Themes: space exploration, gender and science
  • Setting: 1950s alternate history
  • Format: paperback

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
