This review is from: Rocket To Limbo (Paperback)
It's really unfortunate that almost all of Alan Nourse's books are out of print.

Rocket to Limbo is a real joy to read. As usual, Nourse's dialogues are crisp and the plot is fast-paced and intriguing. And the moral of the story is worth pondering long after you have finished the book.

The story: search for a lost space explorer vessel in planet Wolf IV, located far far away, leads to a shocking discovery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Imaginative teen sf, March 3, 2010
This review is from: Rocket to limbo
Not your typical young adult s-f book.

It starts out in a familiar way - a young man, trained in the biological sciences at the Colonial Services Academy, is assigned to his first exploration ship. He (Lars) is excited because the captain is his personal hero, famous for finding new planets to which earth's booming population can migrate; and for bringing his crews home, despite dangerous conditions on those new planets. Lars' cabin-mate is a jerk he knew from the academy. This is where typical ends and totally unexpected begins.

Every turn and twist from here on out is unanticipated and fresh. Adventure, yes, but also a call to look within - very good story.
