Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut

In an alternate Earth, two dominant superpowers are the Union of Zirnitra Republics in the east, and the United Kingdom of Arnak in the west. Both of these governments now test their ambitions against each other in a space race to the moon. The Union establishes the secret city of Laika 44, where cosmonaut technology and candidates are primed for space missions. One special mission involves the recruitment of a vampire, Irina Ruminescu, whose undead nature makes her an ideal cosmonaut to handle space. She is partnered with human astronaut Lev Leps, and both must work together to realize the space dream, not just for their superiors or their land but for their own selves.
