Read this in a week in July 2021
A weirdly strange story of first contact, a group of women over many generations on a mission and the men who are trying to stop them. Apparently this is the first novel in a projected series titled Take Them to the Stars.
This was a good book but not particularly a great one. It's an interesting take on rocket science and actually the afterward and further reading sections where the author explains his sources was very interesting and compelling. There were some incidents he used in the novel that were based on real life situations during the early years of the space race that I would like to learn more about.
The book seemed to be about the Soviet side of the space race with a group of powerful aliens helping them compete with the Americans. Or maybe vice-versa. Lots of real people as characters too. The mother daughter clone thing was fascinating and I'm looking forward to continue reading this series. I previously read his books Sleeping Giants and Waking Gods. I took a break from the series and have not read the final book Only Human.
This book would appeal to hard core space buffs along with science fiction fans.
