I was browsing my Kindle for my next read and found that I had downloaded this awhile ago but I have no memory of having done so?? Did an alien send it to my Kindle...who can say.

Anyway so I went into this with no expectations at all and got sucked in quickly, I thought the premise was really interesting and the era of early space-race history was interesting too. (I saw some reviews on here complaining it was too much historical detail but for me, it was all interesting.)

So I guess, if you are interested in that era of history I'd recommend it. If you are interested in the alien story I agree that that's sort of the backburner but I didn't mind.
