Steve Wysislavsky, a NASA executive based in Houston, offers to help Congresswoman Hypatia Bjorklund's senate campaign in California. She decides he is the man she has been waiting for, but their work keeps them rooted in different parts of the country. Steve would do anything for the space program; Hypatia would do anything for her political agenda, which includes the space program; and President William Farber will do anything to induce former President Charles Bjorklund's daughter to become his mistress.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
The action in "Bjorklund's Daughter" follows a thirty-year gap after "Philanth at 25"; other sequels which will fill this hiatus are described in the back pages of "Philanth at 25".
"Bjorklund's Daughter" and "The Farber-Bjorklund Presidency Ended Strangely" overlap to form a larger story of clashing ambitions operating within conflicting views of reality. These conflicts enable readers to study the nuances of personal integrity and sexual fidelity; most importantly, they create a double vision with which to examine convoluted moral dilemmas and ambiguities of political ethics as these impinge upon private lives of individuals driven by powerful commitments. These complexities make the books delightful subjects for dissection.
From the Author
Like its heroine's adoptive name (pronounced HaePAYsha), this book reflects the inspiration of the late Dr. Carl Sagan's television series,"Cosmos". It espouses the long-term view of humanity's prospects which shapes much of the most influential science fiction, yet it is a mainstream literary novel which employs extensive research regarding the space program.
