Reviews

[Allen McDonnell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Have read this book many times and it has inspired many thoughts about where the Human Race may someday end up living. Recently I added the Kindle and Audible versions to my electronic library and they made it possible to enjoy the novel again while driving.
