The Moon Goddess and the Son

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
