[Barbara · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great sci-fi story. Mike is showing his many writing talents with this first book in the series. Totally different book than his first, the memoirs from his military life. Lots of imagination as well as factual basis about space travel and exploration. Anxious to read #2!
