Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Eleven-year-old Mira Okafor trusts numbers more than anything else. Living at Shackleton Base, tucked into a crater at the Moon's south pole, numbers are how she makes sense of the world - how much air is left, how far to the nearest airlock, how many days until the next supply ship.Then the supply ship crashes, and the numbers turn against her.Eleven days of clean water. Nineteen days until rescue. That's eight days short.Mira has an idea: water, frozen in permanent shadow at the bottom of an ancient crater, close enough to reach - if anyone would just listen. But the adults are consumed with their own plan, her idea is dangerous to attempt alone, and one wrong move could cost the whole base more than time.With her friends Dae-Jung, Priya, and Anil, Mira learns the hardest lesson of all: being right about an idea isn't the same as being ready to carry it alone.Grounded in real lunar science - the same water ice and crater conditions NASA is studying today for future Moon bases - The Last Habitat Module is a survival story about trust, mistakes, and the kind of help that has to be asked for, not just offered. Each chapter closes with a short science note connecting the story to real space exploration research.Book One in the Shackleton Base series. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Eleven-year-old Mira Okafor has spent the last six months earning real trust at Shackleton Base. Now Earth wants her - and the rest of the crew - to help solve the strangest mystery the base has ever uncovered.Buried deep in two-billion-year-old ice, a trace of processed metal shouldn't exist at all. When the excavation survey begins, Mira and her friends find something far stranger than an anomaly: a sealed structure, fifty-three years old, deliberately left off every record anyone has ever found.Director Osei arrives from Earth with more caution than answers, certain the site hides something an old institution worked very hard to bury. As the team digs deeper - through a structural collapse, a dangerous rescue, and a logbook that stops mid-sentence - they piece together the story of an accident, a warning that went ignored, and the people who paid for it.What they uncover isn't a mystery about impossible science. It's a mystery about a decision someone made a long time ago, and what it costs when the truth stays buried instead of being learned from.Grounded in real impact geology, archival science, and the true, ongoing history of engineers who spoke up and weren't heard, The Sealed Record is a story about honesty, institutional accountability, and what it means to finally set the record straight. Each chapter closes with a Field Note connecting the story to real science and history.Book Three in the Shackleton Base series. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Eleven-year-old Mira Okafor has a real job now at Shackleton Base - but nothing has prepared her for watching her own mother suit up for the base's first crewed spaceflight.The launch window opens in fourteen days. It stays open for three. Miss it, and the next chance doesn't come for another four months - orbital mechanics doesn't negotiate, and neither does the calendar.When a flaw is discovered deep inside the Ferry's ascent system days before liftoff, Mira and her friend Dae-Jung are pulled into the fix - not as an exception this time, but because they've earned it. Under pressure, Mira has to learn a harder lesson than the one that shaped her before: sometimes the bravest thing isn't asking for help. It's speaking up before you're sure you need it.Meanwhile, deep in a two-billion-year-old ice core, something is waiting that shouldn't exist at all.Grounded in real orbital mechanics and spaceflight engineering, The Narrow Window is a story about trust, honesty, and the kind of pressure that doesn't bend just because you need it to. Each chapter closes with a short science note connecting the story to real spaceflight research.Book Two in the Shackleton Base series. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A Shackleton Base Story - Hub Era, Book ThreeShackleton Base has a new problem: it's busy. Halcyon Dynamics now launches satellites for clients from all over, six teams and counting, each with a deadline, a launch window, and a very good reason to go first. For a long time, a shared calendar and a lot of goodwill kept everything running. Then Kofi arrives, the newest kid on base, and does something no one else has thought to do. He asks if anyone is counting the mix-ups.Nobody is. So Alex, Mira, and the crew start counting themselves, with a sheet of paper taped inside a storage locker door. The tally keeps climbing, faster every day. Nothing on the list looks serious on its own. Together, they point to a launch week where two vehicles could end up in the same piece of sky.Mira and her friends have to do more than raise the alarm. They need to find out how a much older and busier system solved the same problem, with help from a retired air traffic controller and a stack of paper flight strips, and then prove the fix works, before the next launch week arrives.Nobody's the villain here. The problem is that the system worked right up until it didn't.Grounded in real research on rideshare launches, air traffic control, and how organizations notice when a system quietly outgrows itself, The Long Ascent brings the Hub Era trilogy to a close. It also opens the door to a much longer road beyond the Moon. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A Shackleton Base Story - Hub Era, Book TwoShackleton Base is racing to build something new: solar collectors manufactured on the Moon and launched into orbit, where sunlight never has to fight through an atmosphere or a night cycle. But Halcyon Dynamics isn't the only company chasing the idea. Forty kilometers away, a rival - Meridian Orbital - is building the exact same thing, on the exact same deadline.Nobody at either company wants to admit it, but the two operations are sharing a lot more than a launch schedule. When Mira Okafor and her crew flag an untracked object drifting near the deployment corridor, both sides shrug it off as somebody else's problem. Halcyon's liaison says it's probably Meridian's. Meridian's liaison says it's probably Halcyon's. Nobody's lying. Nobody's watching, either - until the gap between two competing companies nearly costs two people their lives.With days left before the next crewed launch, Mira, Alex, and the rest of the crew have to do something neither company has managed on its own: get two rivals to trust a shared fix, before the sky above Shackleton runs out of room for two separate stories about who's responsible for what.Nobody's the villain here. That's what makes it hard.Grounded in real research on orbital debris tracking, space-based solar power, and how competing companies coordinate - or fail to - on shared safety infrastructure, The Shared Sky continues the Shackleton Base series with the same rigor, the same crew, and a question that gets harder to answer the higher the stakes climb: what do two rivals actually owe each other, once they're standing under the same sky?

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Every journey to the Moon starts with a yes. Mira's starts with a test.Mira Okafor builds rockets that fly exactly as high as her math says they will. Then her mom comes running across the field with a letter. She's been shortlisted to command the first-ever rotation of families to Shackleton Base, at the Moon's south pole.There's only one catch. The whole family has to qualify, and that means Mira too.Suddenly Mira is being weighed, measured and watched. She has to pass a swim test in a soaked flight suit and sneakers, answer questions from a doctor who sees more than she wants him to, and survive a week at a desert field station with the other candidate families. One of them is Dae-Jung, a boy who fixes things with his hands and doesn't seem impressed by anything she reads.When a storm turns a dry riverbed into a roaring flood in the middle of the night, everything Mira knows about maps, rocks and rules gets put to the test. So does the one thing she hasn't told anybody, not even her mom.Because Mira wants to go to the Moon more than anything in the world. And she's scared.The Shortlist is the first book in the Origins trilogy, the prequel to The Last Habitat Module. It shows how Mira and her mother got to Shackleton Base in the first place. Packed with real science about how astronauts are chosen and trained, from flight surgeons to field geology to flash floods, every chapter ends with Field Notes that explain the true story behind the adventure.Perfect for readers ages 9-12 who love space, survival stories and finding out how things really work.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Six days ago, Alex didn't know anyone at Shackleton Base. Now there's a whole system running differently because of one question he asked.The lunar base Alex's family just relocated to looks nothing like the quiet research outpost in the old photos. Humanoid robots work construction alongside human crews. AI-coordinated printers turn moon dust into buildings in real time. Production targets climb every quarter - and somewhere along the way, the human review time built into all that automation has been quietly shrinking, one small cut at a time, with nobody noticing except the kid who just got here.Mira Okafor has spent two years earning trust at Shackleton. She knows better than anyone how easy it is to stop seeing the thing you walk past every day. When Alex's question turns into a near-miss that almost hurts someone she knows, Mira, Alex, and the rest of the crew have to do more than sound an alarm - they have to prove, with real numbers and a real fix, that a company chasing production targets should still make room to slow down.Nobody's the villain here. That's what makes it hard.Grounded in real research on lunar manufacturing, humanoid robotics, and how organizations decide how much to trust their own automated systems, The First Shift opens a new chapter in the Shackleton Base series - same base, same rigor, a crew that's grown, and a question every reader will recognize: how do you know something's actually fine, instead of just being told it is?
