I will keep reading. I was reluctant to read this because I’d seen the movie so many times but I wanted to read all the books in order, so I figured I’d need to start with this one. It was good for sure, but there wasn’t much new from the story I didn ...more

This was fun. I love learning about vintage space history, and I love a good thriller. This was both! Although this was a work of fiction, it was great to have one more moon landing adventure in the Saturn V. This one with cold war espionage and secr ...more

Could have been a fine short story. This is a good story. Most of it you don’t know the MC’s plan, but about 2/3 way through it starts clicking into place, followed by a nice twist ending. I liked it, it was like a good episode of the Twilight Zone. N ...more
