Maybe it was just that I found the subject matter so interesting. It's a good start to the U.S. space program, but certainly not all inclusive. He could easily have expanded this to a trilogy. If it had any failing, it was the limits of the book. ( )One of Michener's better efforts. Historical fiction based upon the Space program. James A. Michener has tried something a little on the different side with Space. While it is a place, I suppose (although pretty big, see THHGTTG), this is more about achievement than arable land. When doing something like this that has to focus a bit more on actual people of a far more modern era than something invented it has to be handled differently. Still, he did a decent enough job. Michener's epic on the US space program. Blending fact with fiction, he churns out a readable novel about the people who pioneered the 'final frontier'. no reviews | add a review
