Space

That’s what I am currently reading. “Space” by James A Michener. It’s a fictional account of the American and German men who made/made possible the journey to outer space and the moon. Historically accurate but no real people and the story extended really long on all sides. So you go as far back as a little before WWII, where you start with the people who later go on to become important people in the race for supremacy in space.

Only one guy is real, the German rocket scientist von Braun but then he isn’t shown as one of the main characters. Operation Paperclip is depicted as it happened, all the locations and most of the stuff were real. Sadly though nothing is said of the Russia side of the events.

But the book is really good and keeps you engrossed. Think of it as a movie unfolding before your eyes as you read it and you will enjoy it even more. I almost finished up ¾ of the book and I would rate it as 3.5 out of 5.
