Frederick Pohl is one of the science fiction greats. This book is fiction based on fact and it is extremely well written.
I have read it at least 3 times cover to cover since I purchased it....countless years ago and it still holds my attention.
The author has kept to whatever real information was available from the actual accident and has enough people detail to make the novel captivating and intellectually stimulating.
If you like high quality science fiction, try this one.
