Interesting & well written. The most readable book he's written, in my opinion. 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'. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0449203794, Mass Market Paperback)

Space. It is the object of dreams and daring of countless men and women who have made it the last, great frontier of human endeavor. James Michener has brought the human touch to that exciting exploration by bringing to life six men and women. Their dedication to the space experience defines its complexities and fascination as no other writer can.
