🎧📚 The Martian Contingency by Mary Robinette Kowal
⭐⭐⭐⭐💫 4.5/5

A softer book than the first three, it's not as much about the science of space flight or building on Mars but a character driven novel. Nice addition to the series.

Book cover of The Martian Contingency, written by Mary Robinette Kowal, released March 18th, 2025. The cover is a soft orange, showing the shadows of two astronauts holding hands on a rock. A quote by Andy Weir, author of The Martian: "Kowal masters both science and historical accuracy in this alternate history adventure." (written about the first book in the series, The Calculating Stars.)

Dear colleagues and students, considering yesterday, I will be unavailable until further notice, reading 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺. The dedication: "Thank you for being the kindest corner of the internet." I need kind corners. Lots of them. And Dr. Elma York.
