Produktbeschreibung
A fresh start, a queer social liberal dream, and a planet that wants to kill you. Carving out a life on Mars is no easy feat. With Earth in the throes of a devastating pandemic, autistic scientist Devon and her fellow colonists are faced with the momentous task of establishing a new society - one that learns from the past and prioritises sustainability over short-term gain. Noble aspirations are easier said than done, though - especially when the entire planet wants to kill you. Grappling with the realities of human nature and with their batteries slowly dying, the colony's 150 women and 10 men must overcome their differences to create a lasting community. But things aren't always what they seem and maybe the colonists aren't as alone as they thought... Perfect for fans of Mary Robinette Kowal's 'Lady Astronaut' series and the writing styles of Robert J. Sawyer and Becky Chambers. This thought-provoking sci-fi novel blends classic science fiction ideas with neurodiverse and LGBTQIA+ themes.

She sometimes also enjoys mysteries and urban fantasy. Some of her favourite authors include: Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Becky Chambers, John Scalzi, Tanya Huff, Mary Robinette Kowal, Robert J Sawyer, Charles Stross, Gareth Powell.
