Críticas
""The Wanderers"is phenomenal. A transcendent, cross-cultural and cross-planetary journey into the mysteries of space and self, the novel explores the dangers and necessities of venturing away from the familiar and finding home in the unknown. Howrey's expansive vision left me awestruck. Ruth Ozeki, "New York Times"bestselling and Man Booker shortlisted author of"A Tale for the Time Being"
An expansive tale of the costs of human ambition, "The Wanderers"is unquestionably the work of a brilliant writer at the height of her powers. Meticulously researched and magnificently rendered, Howrey s dazzling novel on humankind s most ambitious project is, in itself, a work of wondrous skill and ambition, a book about space that s truly about people, but also about the lonely wonder of true trailblazers, the disparate cast behind a great life, and the compromises that build success. Fiercely inventive and deeply empathetic, Howrey s exquisite novel demonstrates that the final frontier may not be space after all. J. Ryan Stradal, "New York Times" bestselling author of"Kitchens of the Great Midwest
" "The Wanderers"is a stealthily brilliant novel. A distinct, shimmering vision of who we are and where we think we want to go. Meg Howrey s three astronauts and their families seem to embody the whole human race at the signal moment of a growth spurt. They exist, as we do now, at the edge of science fiction, their story propelled by a seriousness and intelligence wrapped in a comic and tender humanity. Meg Howrey delivers this vision in a prose that feels new, sui generis, its own necessary vehicle, with a kind of sleek precision that is at once simple, gorgeous, and profoundly moving. Peter Nichols, national bestselling author of"The Rocks"and"A Voyage for Madmen
" Elegant, thoughtful, gorgeously written. A meditation on solitude, connection, aspiration, imagination and reality, which builds effortlessly to moments of immense power and honesty. There are passages near the end of this book that I will never forget. Charles Yu, author of"How to Live Safely in a Science Fiction Universe"and"Sorry Please Thank You

""The Wanderers"is a wonderful exploration of space, trust, and what it means to be a conscious creature, finely-tuned and funny from the first page to the last. I loved getting lost in Meg Howrey's off-kilter world of astronauts and their simulated fantasies. She's a writer with an amazing eye for freedom and confinement and the thin line that sometimes lies between the two." Jonathan Lee, author of"High Dive""

Reseña del editor
Station Eleven meets The Martian in this brilliantly inventive novel about three astronauts training for the first-ever mission to Mars, an experience that will push the boundary between real and unreal, test their relationships, and leave each of them--and their families--changed forever
In an age of space exploration, we search to find ourselves.
In four years Prime Space will put the first humans on Mars. Helen Kane, Yoshi Tanaka, and Sergei Kuznetsov must prove they're the crew for the job by spending seventeen months in the most realistic simulation every created.
Retired from NASA, Helen had not trained for irrelevance. It is nobody's fault that the best of her exists in space, but her daughter can't help placing blame. The MarsNOW mission is Helen's last chance to return to the only place she's ever truly felt at home. For Yoshi, it's an opportunity to prove himself worthy of the wife he has loved absolutely, if not quite rightly. Sergei is willing to spend seventeen months in a tin can if it means travelling to Mars. He will at least be tested past the point of exhaustion, and this is the example he will set for his sons.
As the days turn into months the line between what is real and unreal becomes blurred, and the astronauts learn that the complications of inner space are no less fraught than those of outer space. The Wanderers gets at the desire behind all exploration: the longing for discovery and the great search to understand the human heart.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
