The exhilarating and riotously entertaining science fiction romance blending queer counterculture, joy as resistance, and banging disco hits, perfect for readers of Kaliane Bradley, Vajra Chandraseker and Victor Manibo.In 1977 - a world in which America launched its space program shortly after WWII - Mitch Ward followed Flynn, the lost love of his youth, into the US Spaceguard. Now, he's stuck on a backwater moon base with his only friend, Gloria, watching every shuttle in the hope Flynn will be on it.After an inexplicable encounter with a strange, euphoric being, Mitch and Gloria find themselves dishonourably discharged, and stuck in a USA rapidly sliding into fascism with no plans and no future. There's nothing for it but to move to Los Angeles to chase their dreams, and find their people in the discos of the city.But when Flynn crashes back into their lives, claiming to be the host for an emissary of a utopian civilization approaching Earth, he offers Mitch the power to protect himself and friends across the queer community, so they never have to live in the shadows or face oppression again.With the world on the brink of cataclysm, and Mitch and his friends being squeezed out of every space, it's down to this community of disco-loving outcasts to stand up for what is beautiful and right.
