David Jones always knew his family had secrets. He just never expected one of them to be a prison sentence for all of humanity. When he finds his grandfather’s WWII journal, he expects war stories —not a warning to “leave the planet as soon as you can.” The pages reveal an impossible truth: Earth isn’t a homeworld. It’s a half-million-year-old detention colony, monitored by fallen Elven guardians and a justice system that never stopped watching. And David’s bloodline sits right in the center of it.

Years after a meteorite strike obliterated Washington, DC—triggering an extinction-level global-warming event—Earth’s survivors have started an international effort to establish homes on space stations and the Moon. The next step–Mars. Elma York, the Lady Astronaut, lands on the Red Planet, optimistic about preparing for the first true wave of inhabitants. The mission objective is more than just building the infrastructure of a habitat–they are trying to preserve the many cultures and nuances of life on Earth without importing the hate. But from the moment she arrives, something is off.

Mary Robinette Kowal continues the grand sweep of alternate history begun in The Calculating Stars. The Fated Sky looks forward to 1961, when mankind is well established on the moon and looking forward to its next step: journeying to, and eventually colonizing, Mars. Of course the noted Lady Astronaut Elma York would like to go, but there’s a lot riding on whoever the International Aerospace Coalition decides to send on this historic - but potentially very dangerous - mission. Could Elma really leave behind her husband and the chance to start a family to spend several years traveling to Mars?

Ozarik is the next Zaro, the leader of the world’s witches, the modern-day Darcy everyone swoons over.
