Osudové nebe – Kowal Mary Robinette (2022)

A giant leap for mankind... The year is 1961, and the climate on Earth is deteriorating sharply after a meteorite impact. Windstorms plague the continents, and temperatures begin to rise. The colony on the Moon is fully operational, and people are turning their gaze to Mars. Despite personal sacrifice and political tension, Lady astronaut Elma York longs to participate in the first expedition to the red planet. However, as a woman in a typically male environment, she will not have it easy. Tensions on Earth are rising as some people fear being left to their fate on a dying planet, while others do not recognize equality for all. Humanity thus faces not only the external threat posed by climate change but also internal divisions stemming from racial discrimination. Can people confront their prejudices and pull together? Leading contemporary American author of sci-fi and historical fantasy Mary Robinette Kowal has received numerous prestigious awards for her Lady Astronaut trilogy, including the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2019 and the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 2018.
