Francis and Colin really have the "right stuff". Their insight and facts of the events are spot on and they have made the telling of each flight just as interesting and exciting as the previous one. Not an easy chore. I had forgotten how perilous the EVA's were and they brought back such vivid memories of them. Both "Into the Silent Sea" and "In The Shadow of the Moon" are terrific reads and a great way to "experience it all". I owe the authors a debt of gratitude for writing and accurately documenting these historical flights. Another great book on the Golden years of Spaceflight .

I've read almost every astronaut book that's come out over the last 35 years and this book, along with "Into That Silent Sea," tells the manned space flight story like no books before. I love it so much I'm going to go back and read the first one next. I took my time reading "In the Shadow of the Moon", as the book is like a very fine wine that can't be hurried through. I needed to take small sips of each chapter and savor the history and never-before-told personal stories. My thanks to the authors for putting this history and these memories to paper and sharing them with the rest of us; I'm glad the subjects shared their time and memories. <br/> I’ve been reading space history books since my earliest days, as I grew up in the first decade of the space program – and yet many of these stories are new to me.

For example, I was captivated by reading Gene Cernan's account of the intense pain and difficulty he had during the his Gemini EVA. <br/><br/>The vividness and suspense flows well. The editing is excellent. A must have book for any serious space history buff. <br/><br/>Tahir Rahman, author of We Came in Peace for all Mankind French and Burgess have written a wonderful book with lots of vivid details.
