The novel is well written but it is based on a flawed premise. A large meteor strike hits the Washington DC and Chesapeake Bay area and ejects enough water vapor into the atmosphere to cause a runaway greenhouse effect and eventually ‘boil the oceans’. While water vapor is a greenhouse gas per se, it is not capable of forcing a runaway effect as described because its presence in the atmosphere is self limiting via precipitation. The author recognizes that there would be initially be a global winter effect, dropping the global temperature by over 2 degrees prior to the supposed runaway effect and ignores the consequence that the water vapor ejected into the atmosphere would precipitate as snow and rain. Ordinarily, I can suspend disbelief when reading sci-fi but this is such a whopper that I could not recommend the book.
I recently finished reading Mary Robinette Kowal's wonderful new novel The Calculating Stars. It's set in an alternate 1952 in which the US has launched the first space satellite, opening the space race. Then, Washington DC and most of the East Coast of the US gets obliterated by a meteorite. The climate changes from that impact threaten to render Earth uninhabitable, making getting to Mars a priority.The novel is written in first person, and our narrator is Elma York, mathematician and wife of Nathaniel York. She is a computer - AKA a human mathematician hired to compute stuff, in this case space launch trajectories. She's also a former WASP, a group of women hired to ferry military airplanes around in WWII. This comes in handy, as her piloting skills allow her and her husband to survive the impact.She eventually decides that she wants to be am astronaut, and that's where the conflict is. This is the 1950s, and women are supposed to be in the kitchen, not in space. Oh, and Elma suffers from anxiety, for which she is eventually proscribed Miltown.This set of circumstances makes for a fascinating read. Mary gets to explore sexism, racism (blacks were computers too) and mental health while writing a gripping and entertaining book. It's very eye-opening for me, a straight white dude, to see the problems facing people like Elma - people who can and do contribute greatly.Mary takes a few liberties with history, notably having Dewey defeat Truman in 1948. (Well, that and the asteroid.) However, one thing she is true to - most of the math that got men into orbit was done by hand, mostly by women. It's a fascinating detail. Overall, I highly recommend this book.
What a start! Giant meteorite, east coast wiped out, the world doomed by coming nuclear summer - the oceans will boil! Whoa! I was all in. Then we follow all of that with...well, the the domestic life of the protagonist and her gal pal pilot friends. Huh? Will she get to be an astronaut?? (You want to take a guess?)It's really not a badly written exploration of life in the 50's, and the struggles women and people of color had just to be taken seriously, but that novel could have been written just as well without the world threatening opening. It just seemed light and trivial. Antisemitism even pops up later in the book - for about a page - but then, "Oops, never mind, I didn't mean to be antisemitic. Sorry!." "Oh, you were just being a grump. We forgive you! Group hug!"It just came across as too light in general. I doubt I'd bother with any other books in the series.
I just finished listening to the Audible version of THE CALCULATING STARS by Mary Robinette Kowal, narrated by the author herself, and—let me tell you—her performance is MASTERFUL.I listen to a lot of audiobooks, and MRK’s fluid transitions between well-developed and nuanced character voices—many with distinctive ethnicities and accents—is among the best of the best. Her performance really enhances the experience of this well-researched alternative history set at the dawn of the space program in the 1950’s, when a devastating meteorite impact triggers an extinction event that catapults humankind into a space race to colonize Mars. This novel is as much a tribute to the unsung heroes of our own nascent space program, many of whom happened to be women, as it is a solid and entertaining story.
This is one of my new favorite novels, a brilliant alternate history of the space race. I was spellbound from the first page with the story of a brilliant mathematician, physicist, and pilot who desires with all she has to become a true lady astronaut.In this alternate history, the space race must proceed at a rapid pace because of a meteor that destroyed millions of people, the aftereffects which will likely make Earth uninhabitable in the not-so-distant future. There are familiar historical figures--Martin Luther King Jr., while never appearing in scene, is referenced and plays a key role--and fictitious characters as well.I liked that this was "hard science fiction," with very specific and accurate details about the technology (the author actually took trips to NASA and had astronauts critique her book). And yet the science never became incomprehensible--it was accessible and engaging.There were many well-crafted subplots--the quest for female rights and racial equality. Like Hidden Figures, it focused on people that have often been ignored and yet have played indispensable roles in history. The voice was refreshing and engaging. As a cool writing technique, there was a very interesting shift from past tense to present tense near the end of the book.This novel transformed my appreciation of flight--both flight within and without our atmosphere. I highly recommend it.
