This was cheap YA pretending to be Sci-Fi. I was expecting more of the secondary characters.
I was expecting more challenges in relationships. Elma is a good character but it was so so self-centered and swallow in the end. Like Nathaniel, loved him at first, made me nauseous later. The characters became more swallow the more I read. It finished in politics and psychological issues.
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.Įlma'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.Īt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.No. 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.Įlma 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.
