One Small Step — Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Nyalou Templeton serves on the council for Tranquility Base to give some meaning to her life. Liz Borra, on the other hand, wants to control council. So when meek little Nyalou stands up to Liz over the preservation of the Arrival Monument and its footprint, Liz figures she can intimidate the council like she always does. But Liz might have underestimated Nyalou. And Nyalou might surprise them all -- including herself.

“Rusch has written another great tribute to Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.”
-- SFRevu
