About This Book

A rocket camp struggles under the weight of repeated, fatal attempts to span the Void to Mars while a terse radio warning repeatedly signals danger from the red planet. Against colleagues' protests, an experienced pilot resolves to launch alone on a tightly timed flight that requires a Moon refueling and precise navigation. The narrative follows the urgency of preparing and making the voyage, the crew's fear and bittersweet memories of fallen pioneers, and the desperate effort to deliver a fragile message from a damaged ship that may be Earth's last hope.
