This is the first truly definitive layman's exploration of America's missions to Mars. Every flight is explored in detail, with a running narrative about the goals, triumphs and setbacks of each mission. And for each flight, a prominent scientist from the project is profiled and interviewed, giving expert insight into the accomplishments of that mission, as well as a personal look into the workings of these probes into the unknown. "Destination Mars" is a book that no Mars enthusiast will want to miss. Ken Kramer Los Angeles County Library System "Destination Moon" Online

Where science is an art.Few of us have a chance to do what we really love and get paid for it. After years of working in many industries, including television, new media, academia and others, I have settled upon documentary production and writing. From this has come a rare opportunity to write books, some of which appear to the left. I realize that the chance to create them is a blessing. I hope you enjoy them.
Like many of my generation, I was enthralled by the flights of Mercury, Gemini, and especially Apollo. As those ghostly images came down from the moon, improving on each flight, I stayed home from high school to savor every moment the networks were willing to show us (at the expense of the daytime soaps, which eventually won the airtime battle). As I grew older and matured into a career and family life, fond memories of NASA's "Golden Years" stayed with me. And then came the opportunities to write first "In Their Own Words: The Space Race" (an 8-hour audiobook), and later, "Destination Moon." In both cases the publishers were a delight to work with and in both cases the product is, I hope, something that will impart to you the thrill of reliving those experiences. Please feel free to share your thoughts after you read or listen to them. Now, read on!
