Waystation to the Stars

"Gripping account of a real-life space adventure, Colin Foale has painted a moving portrait of courage in the most hostile environment imaginable. Through Michael's early interest in space, family tragedy, NASA selection and training, this is Michael's extraordinary story as told by the one man who knows him best. Waystation to the Stars is the only account of the Mir crisis to give the truth behind the headlines". -- Jacket.
