A short story about our favourite lady astronaut Elma. Elma, now in her 60s is offered a chance for one last space mission. However her husband is dying. Should she take this last chance to fly or stay?
- It was bittersweet to see Elma and Nathaniel again. Considering the number of pages, the author did an excellent job of catching up the reader and breaking their heart over the changes.
- Although not deeply described, I loved the world-building of life on Mars and the changes in space travel.
A short must read for fans of the Lady Astronaut series.
