one of the reviews for this book from Amazon.com:
5.0 out of 5 stars - Book that got me my job March 24, 2004
By andy
Format:Hardcover
I read this book when I was around 12. I'm now 26 and build spacecraft. After 14 years it only took me two searches to get the name right.
I can't give it more of an accalade.
An excellent story with action and science.
Let no one weep for me, or celebrate my funeral with mourning; for I still live, as I pass to and fro through the mouths of men.
-Quintus Ennius-
