Top positive review. Scientificaly it is a really very strong story with one exception. The vegetables and meats in their meals would provide enough vitamin C to prevent scurvy. And Ben forgot DEAK are fat soluble and taking handfuls of multivitamins would poison the astronauts. Top critical review. The story is dutifully speculative fiction. Painstakingly thoughtful on all the circumstances that would surround such a voyage, from earth-bound politics to interpersonal relationships of the travelers themselves.
Lets also not forget the science which Bova provides in generous amounts. If you love mars and you love scientific fiction about space exploration then you will love this book. I feel the author made a hard choice in keeping away from fantasy and he sticks to it through and through. Its hard to explain without giving away spoilers. Overall, I felt somewhat unsatisfied with the result. While the work is done masterfully for what it is I felt a tad bit cheated in the end. That said, I will state unequivocally that I was glued to this book throughout my reading.
I found myself compelled to keep picking it up and the writing is done well so I was able to plow through it quite swiftly despite its length.
