Summary: Awesome - hard to put down
Comment: This was a great read. The book just seemed to fly by and was difficult to put down. It will definitely eat into your sleep time! I thought he did a good job explaining the NASA words and taking everyone "inside" NASA. The characters behaved like real people - you could imagine a person behaving this way or that way. It was a good story and I hope he writes some more books that are just as good in the near future.

Summary: "Vertical is to Live"
Comment: Bob Mahoney's "Damned to Heaven" is a real Engineering Thriller! The boldness and creativity demanded in putting up humans vertically* (towards the stars) is fully captured. The role of human temperament and political cross purposes is deftly portrayed. I normally do not read mysteries and I certainly have no engineering or mathmematical credentials. That Mahoney could engross my interest so completely is due to his treating the essential human drama involved with such integrity.

* The title of this review is taken from "Vertical is to Live, Horizontal is to Die" , the title of a Buckminister Fuller essay written many decades ago defending the space probram.

Summary: an inside peek at shuttle flights
Comment: Mr. Mahoney's obvious experience in the world of our nation's manned space program comes shining through in this compelling tale of honor, corruption, and the American Dream. This behind-the-scenes peek into the Mission Control Center, although fiction, reveals more than any book on the subject I have read to date. We get taken through the inner hardware workings and orbital mechanics of spaceflight, the backrooms of the control center, and the rarely-discussed conference rooms and private offices of the NASA team. The technical content is astounding, and written so as to break down rocket science for "the rest of us" to consume.
