The reviews on this are fantastic. Knox from the Popcast gave this a green light, comparing it to Station Eleven. Colson Whitehead picked it as his favorite book of 2016, and the publisher says this is perfect for fans of The Snow Child, saying: "Augustine, a brilliant, aging astronomer, is consumed by the stars. At his latest posting, in a research center in the Arctic, news of a catastrophic event arrives. The scientists are forced to evacuate, but Augustine stubbornly refuses to abandon his work. At the same time, Mission Specialist Sullivan is aboard the Aether on its return flight from Jupiter. So far the journey has been a success. But when Mission Control falls inexplicably silent, Sully and her crewmates are forced to wonder if they will ever get home. As Augustine and Sully each face an uncertain future against forbidding yet beautiful landscapes, their stories gradually intertwine in a profound and unexpected conclusion."

This adroit sophomore novel from Good Morning, Midnight author Brooks-Dalton is a notable addition to the growing canon of dystopian climate change fiction. Wanda takes her name from the powerful hurricane that swept across southeastern Florida on the day she was born: to Floridians, her name has always been synonymous with death and destruction, and it's true that the storm visited both upon her family. As Wanda grows, Florida's landscape grows ever more precarious, and Wanda learns what it means to survive as one epoch of human history comes to an end and another begins, always with the help of her older survivalist neighbor Phyllis. I found myself rooting for Wanda as she sought love and safety, found improbable ways forward, and struggled to come to terms with her world as it is now. I listened to the audiobook, narrated by Rosemary Benson.
