First published in 2012 as Occupy Space, Grady’s debut science-fiction novella inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement, about a group of amateur astronauts who lead a rescue mission to space.

Walter Reddie is a washed-up former astronaut who takes it upon himself to build a rocket ship to rescue his cousin, who is stuck on the International Space Station after a mission gone wrong. If America won’t rescue its astronauts, Walter will do it himself.

Violating numerous laws, common sense, logic, and reason, Walter Reddie becomes a lightning rod for people who aren’t ready to lay down and die just yet. His "redneck NASA" becomes the promised land for losers, drifters, rocket junkies, pyromaniacs, misfits, dreamers, science nerds, and astro-hippies who still believe that the future of America is in space. But chances are they’ll blow themselves up, get arrested, or kill each other before they ever get into low Earth orbit.

This book is quick and utterly ridiculous, and I would not want it any other way. It is literally the story of a failed astronaut getting a community of unqualified folks together to build a rocket and save his cousin on the ISS. 

It is completely insane and that’s why I love it. Walter is a no f*cks given sort of man and yet he is fascinating to watch as he refuses to give up on his rescue mission. 

While the book never takes itself too seriously and stretches the limits of science, it is genuinely heart-warming and inspiring and by the end, I wanted this team of vastly under-qualified individuals to succeed.

I had a great time with this novella and recommend it to anyone with even a passing love for science and absurd dreams.
