Review title: Did Homer really work for NASA?
Product review: It's hard to believe from this dreck. I don't mind suspending my disbelief for a good fantasy, but this is ridiculous. The absurd plot gets more and more implausible as the story progresses. Add to that stock, one-dimensional characters (I will give Hickam credit for developing the character of Penny High Eagle nicely), half-hearted attempts at suspense that are far too quickly resolved to be suspenseful, and an absurd ending, and you have a very silly, very bad book. Beyond that, Hickam insults the reader's intelligence by assuming that if he throws a little technical jargon into the dialogue, the reader will not notice the bad science pervading practically every page. Don't waste your money.
