“This story concerns the return to Earth journey of the first human expedition to Mars. … The story is anchored in reality and constructed with careful precision. Every aspect has clearly been carefully researched for its feasibility, and things do not stray far from acceptable science. … I can recommend this book as a good evening’s read.” (Odyssey, Issue 40, March, 2016)“The references provide a useful introduction to the literature for readers who may want to explore the issues further. … the book is successful in illustrating the psychological stresses that may be expected to develop among human crews participating in long-duration space missions, and in highlighting the importance of taking planetary-protection protocols seriously. Anyone with an interest in the future of space exploration is likely to find it a thought-provoking read … .” (Ian Crawford, The Observatory, Vol. 134 (1240), June, 2014)
