Dr. Strangelove in space. A lot more years have passed – Gwendy is in her 60s and knows she is suffering from early-onset Alzheimer’s. The man in the button hat visited her and returned the button box again. He’s giving her one final task to perform – to rid the world of the button box. The only way to accomplish such a task is to send the box into interstellar space. So, she returns to politics and runs for the Senate – and wins. Once there, she makes the friends she needs, not only in the Senate, but at NASA and the NSA. She gets bills passed to finance participation in the new much larger space station and to help billionaires to develop a multi-passenger trip to the station. Then on the maiden flight, she gets a seat and smuggles the button box with her along with a small nuclear-powered rocket. But it’s not going to be easy. A billionaire is also on the flight and he is connected with aliens who want someone to press the black button on the box and destroy Earth.
I don't usually read a series back-to-back. But this was wonderful fun to read the Gwendy books.
