OrbitalOrbital

A slender novel of epic power that snapshots one day in the lives of six women and men hurtling through space - not towards the moon or the vast unknown, but around our planet. These astronauts and cosmonauts were selected for one of the last space station missions of its kind before the program is dismantled. Their experiences of sixteen sunrises and sunsets and the bright, blinking constellations of the galaxy are at once breathtakingly awesome and surprisingly intimate. So are the marks of civilization far below, encrusted on the planet on which we live.
