Bliv medlem af LibraryThing for at finde ud af, om du vil kunne lide denne bog. Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. I can't read any more of this. How did it win the Hugo Award? Feels like a college freshman wrote it. Ugh. ( ) Having read the NF books of women aviators and "lady astronauts" I was expecting much more from this book. I really never got what the point of it was. Very exciting set-up in the early pages that fizzles to personal emotional reflection for the rest of the book. Solid writing. Not what I was expecting. La historia alternativa bien hecha me flipa siempre. Leyendo este libro, no podía evitar imaginarme una serie que adaptase esta historia, no sé a que están esperando para hacerla. La descripción de la caída del meteorito impresiona y te engancha las primeras paginas para ya no soltarte, pero es luego el costumbrismo y rutina de una agencia espacial, y el personaje de Elma, lo que hace que no quieras parar de pasar cada pagina. Si a estos ingredientes base le sumamos una critica al racismo y las discriminación de la época, aunque sea otra realidad, dota al libro de muchos momentos únicos que explorar. Tengo muchas ganas de leer la continuación. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

On a cold spring night in 1952, a huge meteorite fell to earth and obliterated much of the east coast of the United States, including Washington D.C. The ensuing climate cataclysm will soon render the earth inhospitable for humanity, as the last such meteorite did for the dinosaurs. This looming threat calls for a radically accelerated effort to colonize space, and requires a much larger share of humanity to take part in the process. Elma York's experience as a WASP pilot and mathematician earns her a place in the International Aerospace Coalition's attempts to put man on the moon, as a calculator. But with so many skilled and experienced women pilots and scientists involved with the program, it doesn't take long before Elma begins to wonder why they can't go into space, too. Elma's drive to become the first Lady Astronaut is so strong that even the most dearly held conventions of society may not stand a chance against her. No library descriptions found. |
