4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable space techno-thriller., February 24, 2011
This review is from: Night Launch (Paperback)
I found this an enjoyable space thriller with a great insight from someone who actually flew the shuttle. The suspenseful setup and pacing were great, as were the characters, and the tense buildup throughout kept me reading and guessing. It wrapped up a little too quickly for me - hence me giving it only four stars - I would have liked the climactic end to have been given as much attention as some of the buildup. But that may just have been me. Overall, a good read.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for Me, April 9, 2002
By 
This review is from: Night Launch (Hardcover)
It takes a lot of time (or it seams that way) to get through this book. I do not know what slowed me down more, was it the disjointed writing or the plot that seamed to just be thrown together. The highlight was the interesting details of NASA, which come from the author. I only made it about half way into the book. There are many better books out there.

3.0 out of 5 stars Space Shuttle and terrorism from a legislative point of view, June 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Night Launch (Hardcover)
Back in the late 1980's, the Space Shuttle program was all the rage as the topic of stories and movies. What make this novel unique was that a Senator and space advocate wrote it (mostly). Beyond that uniqueness, with it's intricate real experience detail, Night Launch is just another technothriller.
