Review by Library Journal Review

James Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger describe the harrowing days of disaster aboard the wounded space capsule and its successful return to Earth in this dramatic and heroic account full of scientific descriptions. As fans of the film starring Tom Hanks may recall, the ship is only a few days into its mission to the moon when an explosion occurs that cripples the vessel. The three-man crew, led by Lovell, has little choice but to seal themselves in the lunar module. From there, the astronauts and the ground crew at NASA attempt to figure out a way to get everyone safely home. (c) Copyright 2013.
