Stine and his wife Barbara were friends of author Robert A. Heinlein, who sponsored their wedding, as Harry's parents were dead and Barbara's mother too ill to travel.

Reviews

[Jeff Greason · Rating 4 out of 5]

Picks up immediately following the events of volume 2. A stronger finish than the middle volume; a lot more emphasis on the crew and character relationships. I found myself chuckling at times at the all-too-realistic theme that interservice rivalry is a bigger threat than the other various hazards involved. Overall, the series isn't *great*, but it's pretty good.

I liked this book pretty good, but I was lost most of the time because this is the 3rd in a series and I did not read the first two. (That's what I get for buying books at the thrift store). If you read this book, First go to the appendix and glossary so you will understand the abbreviations.
