Description: "A magnificent and 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 brilliant 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. Brilliantly ambitious 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
