review:
'Vessel' by Lisa A. Nichols is a debut novel and the July pick for my book club.

When Catherine Wells contacts NASA, no one can believe it's her. Her ship hasn't been heard from in 6 years on it's mission to Trapper-1f. Catherine is the sole survivor and has no memory of what happened or even how she got back in her ship headed for home.

When she arrives on Earth, things aren't easy. Her husband appears to have moved on and her daughter is much older. This is only the beginning of her problems as Catherine battles weird blackouts and a suspicious co-worker.

It's a quick read, and I liked it, but there are better stories about women astronauts out there. This year's Nebula winner, for example. The science is ok, but there are things that feel more like gimmicks to serve a plot than things that are plausible. To be honest, this kind of felt like a science fiction novel written for folks who don't read a lot of science fiction.
