Praise for The Fated Sky "An immersive world that will stay with
the reader well past the final page."--Publishers Weekly, starred
review "The Lady Astronaut series might be set in an alternate
past, but they're cutting-edge SF novels that speak volumes about
the present."--The Verge "Tantalizing."-Locus
"An alternative look at the midcentury space race led by an
intelligent, well-meaning, but flawed heroine."--Booklist
"From dangers on Earth from wild protestors, to the dangers of a
three-year trip to Mars, the tale is an exciting, yet
well-researched tale. Excellent."--Philadelphia Weekly "This is by
no means just for Sci Fi lovers."--Caroline Bookbinder
"This was a fabulous sequel."--Marzie Reads Praise for The
Calculating Stars
"The Calculating Stars is a wonderful, scientifically accurate view
of what might have been. Kowal masters both science and historical
accuracy in this alternate history adventure."--Andy Weir, author
of The Martian "This is what NASA never had, a heroine with
attitude."--The Wall Street Journal "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 "Readers will thrill to the story of this "lady
astronaut" and eagerly anticipate the promised
sequels."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Kowal's book was
revelatory for me, because here is a version of history where men
eventually, finally, listen to women."--Tor.com "A fine balance of
integrating historical accuracy--including mid-twentieth-century
sexism, racism, and technology--with speculative
storytelling."--Booklist "Readers will be hooked."--Library Journal
"An engrossing alternate history with a unique point of view, The
Fated Sky dramatically demonstrates the technical problems with
going to Mars--but the technical problems are the not the only
ones. Never backing down from vital issues of race and gender, The
Fated Sky confronts the human issues of space travel in a United
States made increasingly desperate by a massive meteor strike.
Plausible, convincing, and ultimately moving."--Nancy Kress, author
of the Hugo Award-winning "Yesterday's Kin"
