To save humanity, the world unites to form the International Aerospace Coalition. Its mission: to colonise first the Moon, then Mars.

Anonim a dat nota:

This was such a wonderful read! The alternate history was really interesting, and I really liked Elma. Definitely a must read to those who liked The Martian.
