We Walked to Space

By Chester Burton Brown

Olympus Mons is a mountain so high its peak extends above the atmosphere, casting a shadow on the sky itself. This is the mountain one young Martian has decided to climb in order to rekindle her self-worth after losing her job. But freezing temperatures, stratospheric storms and oxygen deprivation aren’t the only obstacles she’ll face in order to summit Olympus -- because the greatest dangers of all lurk within her fellow travellers.

Follow the self-effacing but strong-willed Claire as she fights her way to the Solar System's highest peak, meeting the kinds of colourful characters and rich, immersive environments that have become a hallmark of C.B. Brown's universe of interconnected novellas.
