À propos de cet audio
The space mission of a lifetime
An epic saga of America’s might-have-been, Voyage is a powerful, sweeping novel of how, if President Kennedy had lived, we could have sent a manned mission to Mars in the 1980s. Imaginatively created from the true lives and real events, Voyage returns to the geniuses of NASA and the excitement of the Saturn rocket and includes historical figures from Neil Armstrong to Ronald Reagan who are interwoven with unforgettable characters whose dreams mirror the promise of a young space program that held the world in thrall. There is: Dana, the Nazi camp survivor who achieves the dream of his hated masters; Gershon, the Vietnam fighter jock determined to be the first African American to land on another planet; and Natalie York, the brilliant geologist/astronaut who risks a career and love for the chance to run her fingers through the soil of another world.

I enjoyed it, but...
I am very keen on spacey kind of books, and really enjoyed this. Lots of techno talk, and excellent characters. The only problem I had was that there are too many flashbacks and flash forwards, so the story is all over the place with things that haven't happened yet, juxtaposed with things that happened yesterday. It's not a major problem, but I listen to this while driving and doing other things. I found that the trick is to focus when they give a date, and figure out where the following section is supposed to be in the big scheme, and then enjoy. But not easy when you're busy with other things as well.
The narrator is top class, making subtle distinctions between the "voices" of different characters, that helps the non-concentrating listener put things in place.
I was happy to find that this is only part one of a trilogy, so I am currently downloading the second part. Didn't see the third part anywhere, and I hope it's available, but Book 1 could have stood on its own so if the third part is still being George RR Martin'ed I can wait.
I recommend this for space geeks.
