The Return by Aldrin, Buzz and Barnes, John
Filed under: Sci-Fi | Buy on Amazon
Interesting story, but about 150 pages too long.
The novel was pretty forward thinking anticipating terrorism before 9/11 and disaster for the Shuttle Columbia before it actually happened (in one eerie moment they discussed the actual problem that led to the Columbia disaster in real life).
But for all the interesting moments there was just way too much sluggish set up. Press conferences and legal cases just aren't as interesting as space travel.
