Perhaps as much as a thousand years after the annihilation of all technology on Earth as well as much of much of the population by the nova of Betelgeuse, the Earth is expanding to terraform Mars, the moon, and also asteroids they have moved into Earth orbit from the asteroid belt. Captain Susan Pearce has spent most of her life working on this effort and now is teaching new cadets in the use of ships to manipulate those asteroids as the project continues. Using that format, many of Henry Melton's stories are strung loosely together which show us how this was done and how it is impacting lives. Fascinating. The technology explanations are beyond me often, but the substance is highly readable.
I have now started Harvest Season by Melanie Lageschulte. After being fired from her big city job as a consultant in an advertising firm, Melinda's mom has asked her to come and help run her uncle's store in the small town in Prosper after his heart attack. She finds a farm she can take care of in the owner's absence for very low rent and has spent the summer in the hamlet of Prosper, Minnesota. Now autumn is coming on, and her life is still very much up in the air with her uncle and the farm owner slated to return sometime soon. In the meantime the small town prepares for winter and so does Melinda.
