My unhealthy obsession of reading space travel based science fiction made me choose this book as my lockdown read.
Six young people from different walks of life are trained for years and chosen by the merit of fierce competition to join a manned space mission. This is not an ordinary mission. They are a part of the elite team which is aiming to colonize the newly discovered seemingly habitable planet Terra Two. The mission will take 23 years and will test them to their limits. Will they fulfill their mission or will landing on Terra Two remain a dream? It's space after all and you can never say what's heading your way.
Exploring the psychologically difficult aspect of space travel ( read - confined spaces, looking at same faces for years, uncertainty of the situation) Temi Oh does a wonderful job of making us see this setup through the eyes of these freshly suited up astronauts.
The extremely high possibility of having younger travellers in future, with commercial space travel plans in
offing, this is a very relevant read. Also, it's quiet unputdownable ( is that even a word?)
