  “An awesome saga of America exploring space.
  From the bombing of Peenemunde (centre for German rocket research before and during WW2)and the 'rescue' of the scientists there, through the success of the Gemini and Apollo manned flights and Viking landings on Mars and the breathtaking performances of the 'Space Shuttle' flights.
  These awesome achievements of the 'Space Race' and all the background information is compelling reading. A MOST difficult book to put down and a MUST for anyone interested in SPACE...Cheers Mr Mitchener..to me, the BEST book you have EVER written!”

  “Space: it is the object of dreams and daring of countless men and women who have made it the last, great frontier of human endeavor. James Michener has brought the human touch to that exciting exploration by bringing to life six men and women. Their dedication to the space experience defines its complexities and fascination as no other writer can. Michener remains a superb storyteller.”

  “This was another Michener book that made me want to go there. I did tour Kennedy Space Center. I read it a second time before I went there. ”

  “The first ever "epic" book that I've read and loved. With well built and truly real characters and set on a historical backdrop that has grabbed my imagination since childhood, space is the kind of book that you'll find hard to let go of.”
