| The Moon Goddess and the Son
| | Donald Kingsbury
| Diana's ambition to get a job on the moon started the same day she learned from a child's book of mythology that her namesake was the moon goddess.
The time is the late 1980s.
The Russians have secretly lofted a full-scale space station that dwarfs the one the U.S. hopes to build in the '90s. The American response - as it was in the late 1950s - is a crash program to overtake and surpass the Soviet effort.
And by 2010 their efforts have succeeded. Burgeoning space industry has resulted in an economic boom unprecedented in U.S. history - and man will never again be confined to Earth.
"The author of Courtship Rite brings to this novel of the near-future a rare sensitivity for characterization as well as an acute perception of the links between past and future." --Library Journal
