Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: A wonderful page-flipper! Review: When I first picked up this book and saw that the authors has such overwhelming credentials, I figured this book would be a real "dry" read. Boy, am I glad I was SO wrong. This book had a lot of wonderful research behind it. I never once found myself sitting with the book thinking "Yeah, right! As if THAT could happen." Everything blended so well, NASA, Mars mission, political problems, threatened budget cuts, sabotage, human flaws and a little romance. I was pleasantly surprised how well the authors presented their female characters. I kept turning pages (staying up way too late) just to find out what happened next. The characters' personal musings on their religious beliefs even worked in wonderfully with the life-and-death situation for the characters. I highly recommend this book for anyone.
