Publisher's Summary

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.

Another great read

I love the way Kowal writes and her narration is excellent too, I even like the way she reads the male characters because she does it in a way that isn’t a put on voice, yet you forget it’s a woman’s voice some how.

The characters real very real and I love the focus on strong women. Kowal somehow gives them deep flaws without making them look weak, which is so much more common for female characters.

I hope this series has several more books to come.

Wish there was more!

You do such a great story and narrative! I was so surprised when I realised that the author was also the narrator! I think it’s a great boost to the enjoyment of listening. As the author the narrator knows all the inflections. Well done!
