When a meteor strike devastates Earth, humanity must accelerate its space program. This series follows Elma York, a female mathematician and pilot, as she helps lead the charge to the stars. It explores themes of gender equality and the future of space exploration in an alternate 1950s.
The series is best read in publication order, starting with "The Calculating Stars," followed by "The Fated Sky," and then "The Relentless Moon." This allows readers to follow the chronological progression of Elma York's journey and the alternate history timeline.
