Back of the Book:
In the year 2012 Valkerie Jansen, a young microbial ecologist, is presented with an amazing opportunity to continue her research as a member of the NASA corps of astronauts. When a sudden resignation opens the door for her to be a part of a mission to Mars, her life dream becomes a reality.
Dreams turn suddenly to nighmares for NASA and the crew as an explosion cripples the spacecraft on the outward voyage. The crew’s survival depends on complete trust in one another—but is one of the four a saboteur?
My Review:
What a book!!! It was thrilling the entire way through and kept you on the edge of your seat. It was hard to tell what was going to happen next. These two authors created a real, believable story that was very plausible. If you like Apollo 13, then this book would be great for you. I loved to read about what it would be like to ride in a spacecraft of this day and the trials a crew would have to face for such an extended flight.
The lesson taught, that God has plans and is in control of our lives, is wonderfully taught without being preachy like other books. It ties in well with the story and deals with doubts and fears that you or I would have had in the same circumstances. I loved this book! Go read it!
