| Publisher's Note | |
| Space. It is the object of dreams and daring of countless men and women who have made it the last, great frontier of human endeavor. James Michener has brought the human touch to that exciting exploration by bringing to life six men and women. Their dedication to the space experience defines its complexities and fascination as no other writer can. | |
| Industry reviews | |
| "By shuffling together real people and events (Werner von Braun, LBJ), and fictional ones (topped by an imaginary Apollo 18 trip to the far side of the moon), Michener has caught the essence of what motivated and then enfeebled our space program." National Review - Jack Kirwan (05/27/1983) "['Space'] contrasts several varieties of faith, from the simplistic faith of the German rocket engineer who believes that technology can solve any problem, to the faith of the astronauts who believe that flying farther and faster is the greatest good in the world." Washington Post Book World - Ben Bova "['Space'] is less a historical novel than a tract. In part, it is a celebration of space exploration as a glorious blend of science, American frontiersmanship, and human curiosity. But more than that, it's an impassioned denunciation of what Michener considers one of the gravest dangers facing post-Vietnam America: the proliferation of an anti-science movement." Nation - Michael L. Smith | |
