INTO THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS will be a wild ride of memories and flashbacks for readers who lived through the era — or a detailed and thorough history lesson for those who are too young to remember. Either way, it is an engrossing combination of fact and fiction.

This is a brilliant read!! As a lover of both the Apollo space program and The Beatles, I was held captive at this wonderful weaving of the two. The author knows his stuff, trivia-wise, as well as how to write a simply wonderful yarn. Highly recommend to everyone!

Instead of trying to mesh all into a multi-purpose "historical fictional autobiographical" genre, I'd have preferred separate books on the subjects where the importance of each got their due. The letters pertaining to the Beatles were fascinating but truly lost in this format. I didn't want to go online for pictures; the book would have benefited by being designed to accommodate them.
