Omnivoracious - Fifteen Highly Anticipated SFF Reads for Summer 2018

On a cold spring night in 1952, a huge meteorite fell to earth and obliterated much of the East Coast of the US, including Washington, DC. The ensuing climate cataclysm will soon render the Earth inhospitable for humanity, as the last such meteorite did for the dinosaurs.

This looming threat calls for a radically accelerated effort to colonize space and requires a much-larger share of humanity to take part in the process.

Elma York’s experience as a WASP pilot and mathematician earns her a place in the International Aerospace Coalition’s attempts to put man on the moon, as a calculator. But with so many skilled and experienced women pilots and scientists involved with the program, it doesn’t take long before Elma begins to wonder why they can’t go into space, too.

Elma’s drive to become the first lady astronaut is so strong that even the most dearly held conventions of society may not stand a chance against her.

More character than story driven, but a wonderful novel in any case. It's a "soft" journey into the sci-fi genre, with elements of history and romance. If this is something you like - like me - you will love this book. As long as you don't expect aliens and laser beam fights.

Really good read - gripping and relatable

I got lured into buying this book since the author is reading audiobooks for Neal Stephenson and I thought it might be science fiction (as advertized) simmilar to his. Boy oh boy was I wrong. It might be fiction but has rather nothing to do with science. The author imagines very much how scientists are supposed to behave or something and lives out her wildest dreams of becoming one.
For people interestet in the modern political climate it might be a good read though.

Complete rip off
