A brilliant, philosophical, and athletic physicist, Amanda Jaworski is in training to be the first person to journey to Mars.

Editorial Reviews

This book is in the running as a 'great American novel'; it's ambitious and strange, comparable to Pynchon's V or Heller's Catch-22, or, yes, even Moby Dick.”
