It's 1963, and riots and sabotage plague the space program. The climate change caused by the Meteor is becoming more and more clear, but tensions are rising, and the IAC's goal of getting humanity off Earth is threatened. Astronaut Nicole Wargin lives two lives; one as a politician's wife on Earth, and the other as an astronaut on the newly-established Moon Base. But when sabotage strikes, she finds that her two worlds are colliding - with deadly consequences.

My favorite in the series (so far)

I have loved all three volumes in this series (the fourth one is coming out in March 2025), but I especially liked this one. This 3rd volume in the Lady Astronaut series does not actually feature the original lady astronaut, Elma York, who was the central character of the first two volumes (only very briefly at the end). In this one, the setting shifts to the Moon, and the central character is Kansas governor's (and presidential hopeful) wife, Nicole Wargin, who was present in the previous volumes, herself a pilot. At this point in the story, there is an established base on the moon, with regular flights back and for from Earth. However, there is political turmoil both on Earth and the moon, with successive catastrophes and sabotage. It's pretty fast-paced and very engaging.
