Atmosphere Jenkins Reidov Taylor (2026)

Set against the 1980s space shuttle programme, this epic novel explores the extraordinary lengths people go to in order to live and love beyond their limits. In the summer of 1980, Joan Goodwin begins training to become an astronaut at Houston’s Johnson Space Center alongside an exceptional group of fellow candidates. As the new astronauts prepare for their first flights, Joan discovers a passion and a love she never imagined, prompting her to question everything she believes about her place in the observable universe. Then, in December 1984, during mission STS-LR9, everything changes in an instant. Atmosphere is a soaring story about the transformative power of love among the stars.
