Publisher's Synopsis
Continuing the grand sweep of alternate history laid out in 'The Calculating Stars', 'The Fated Sky' looks forward to 1961, when mankind is well-established on the moon and looking forward to its next step: journeying to, and eventually colonising, Mars. Of course the noted Lady Astronaut Elma York would like to go, but could the International Aerospace Coalition ever stand the thought of putting a woman on such a potentially dangerous mission?
