T-Minus Two
KG MacGregor
It’s the boldest conquest of our time–the colonization of Mars. Of the thousands who clamored for a one-way ticket to the Red Planet, only a fraction remain in the running. Now they’re converging on Hawaii’s Big Island for a nail-biting competition to be the first to launch. Mila Todorov has prepared for this moment throughout her young life. With her revolutionary propulsion design already built into the Mars vessel, she likes her chances–especially if she can team with her all-time idol, Major Jancey Beaumont, a former NASA astronaut whose last space mission made her a worldwide hero. Jancey is desperate for a return to space, but the margin for error is razor-thin. Can she afford to gamble her destiny on a woman so distracting as Mila?

Mila Todorov was fourteen years old when Major Jancey Beaumont aborted her record-setting solo space mission to rescue two cosmonauts after their orbiter failed. Now twenty-six with a degree in astronautical engineering, Mila is burning to follow in the Major’s swashbuckling footsteps, and no one is going to get in her way.Pushed out of the space program by budget cuts, Jancey has bounced from one university to another, unable to adapt to the collegial demands of a faculty position. Viewing every earthbound day as an undeserved penance, she yearns for a return to space.Mila and Jancey get their chance when they’re chosen to compete with dozens of others for a one-way trip to colonize Mars aboard the spaceship Tenacity. But it’s quickly obvious that they will have to learn to work together if they have any hope of ever getting off the ground.Lambda Literary Award Winner – KG MacGregor
