The Lady Astronaut of Mars
The Lady Astronaut of Mars: A Tor.Com Original | Mary Robinette Kowal
5 posts | 17 read | 23 to read
A Finalist for the 2014 Hugo Award for Best Novelette. Thirty years ago, Elma York led the expedition that paved the way to life on Mars. For years she's been longing to go back up there, to once more explore the stars. But there are few opportunities for an aging astronaut, even the famous Lady Astronaut of Mars. When her chance finally comes, it may be too late. Elma must decide whether to stay with her sickening husband in what will surely be the final years of his life, or to have her final adventure and plunge deeper into the well of space.

What a heart wrencher!

suzisteffen I‘ve read the first one, but not the second. Sounds like it was good! 6y
speljamr @suzisteffen This one is just a short story for the same character. I haven't read any of her stuff, but this had me add the two novels. 6y
suzisteffen @speljamr OHHHHH right, the short story that started the whole thing. I guess I need to read that one too. 6y

BookNAround Good news if you like Kowal‘s series. She‘s contracted to write books 3 and 4 as well. @speljamr @suzisteffen (edited) 6y
speljamr @BookNAround Yes, Goodreads shows this as book 4.5, so this story is after the existing two, and the upcoming two. 6y
Melissa_J The first book is a Kindle and Kobo deal today. I bought it thanks to the post! 6y
speljamr @Melissa_J Thanks for the heads up on that. I will go grab the first book on my Nook today. 6y

I read this short story on my way home from work and I absolutely love it. I loved the characters, the concept, and now plan to read the novels as soon as possible.
