Reviews

These titles aren't adventures per se but rather an engaging way to reach students hesitant about space science. Some of the "paths" simply end when that part of a mission concludes or the particular engineering problem is solved, while others continue to a final goal. Negative endings are possible, including being fired or getting space motion sickness. Some choices introduce moral dilemmas, while others simply involve choosing among relatively equal possibilities. . . .The first-person perspective is an effective means of getting readers passionate about space. No doubt these will inspire a few future engineers and astronauts.-- "School Library Journal"
