Editorial Review | This is an exciting, insider's take on what it was like to become one of the first humans in space. Publishers Weekly Eugene Cernan offers unique insight...[he's] experienced it all African Sun Times A fascinating book...Cernan pulls few punches. Charlotte Observer Refreshingly told...written as though it's been days since he went to space, not decades. St. Petersburg Times [with] thrilling highlights, this is a book not just about space flight but also about the often brutal competition that went on between the US and the Soviet Union. Washington Times With the feel of a story recalled among friends, this is an appealingly down to earth account from the last man to walk on the moon. No advanced physics, no scientific mumbo-jumbo. Just a thoroughly engrossing recollection of Cernan's crucial role in the conquest of space. I loved the book. Ron Howard, Director, Apollo 13 I know the American people will learn a great deal from this book. I hope they learn a lot more about astronaut Gene Cernan, my friend, a man of courage and dedication. President George Bush " |
