The first book, ''The Calculating Stars'', begins with our heroine Elma York and her husband narrowly surviving the meteorite impact thanks to a fortunate camping trip, and chronicles the discovery that the resulting climate change will render Earth uninhabitable, kicking the space race into overdrive as colonization of other planets becomes humanity's only hope for survival. The next book, ''The Fated Sky'', deals with the effort to colonize Mars. Book three, ''The Relentless Moon,'' is set to release in 2020.
