Sci-Fi / Fantasy Discussion Group

In March, we’ll discuss the novel The Terraformers, by Annalee Newitz

From nebulas.sfwa.org:
“Destry’s life is dedicated to terraforming Sask-E. As part of the Environmental Rescue Team, she cares for the planet and its burgeoning eco-systems as her parents and their parents did before her.

But the bright, clean future they’re building comes under threat when Destry discovers a city full of people that shouldn’t exist, hidden inside a massive volcano.

As she uncovers more about their past, Destry begins to question the mission she’s devoted her life to, and must make a choice that will reverberate through Sask-E’s future for generations to come.”

At the end of the meeting, we will choose a book for our May meeting.
