Allyn Ryan '59, M.F.A.'64 creates an intriguing alternate history in her new science-fiction thriller Salt Mines. Set in a fictional 1980s, Salt Mines rewrites the history of space exploration with a plot that focuses on labor problems in the aerospace industry and tensions that lead to strikes, layoffs and murder--all set against the backdrop of a project to send a manned mission on a "grand tour" of the solar system.
