Slow Burn

"Slow Burn" by Henry Still is a science fiction story that happens in the middle of the 1900s, taking readers to a space station where astronauts are getting ready to launch a rocket called "Moonbeam" to the moon. The story is about Kevin Morrow, who is the commander, and how he deals with a pushy Senator McKelvie, whose actions threaten the whole mission. As they're about to launch, everything goes wrong, and the space station goes off course, putting everyone's lives at risk. Morrow and his team have to think fast to save themselves. The book looks at themes like how far people will go to achieve their goals, the worries that come with space travel, and how even small actions can have big, unexpected results.
