A second book and an amazing follow up!
I was surprised to see that they had a follow up to Should’ve Been With Me The Wilford skull story I really thought everything was covered in book one, but to my delight the second book is more about his working life with NASA. I am always struck by the intelligence of this author and it is one of the biggest reasons I love his books. From the commentary to the factual achievements of Mr. skull it is so well worded and despite it being about satellites in space I didn’t find it dry or boring. His analogies are always interesting and I find myself looking forward to the beginning of each new chapter. I always wait anxiously for Mr. Edwards to put out a new book. If only he could write faster LOL! This is a great book and even if you don’t like stories about NASA trust me when I say it is much more than that Wilford Sckull has A very interesting life and his great achievements need to be appllauded this is someone I would have not heard of if not for the author. It is a book I highly recommend because it was so so very interesting.
