Ed's Martian Book on Hudson Street sells copies of “Martian Summer: Robot Arms, Cowboy Spacemen, and My 90 Days With the Phoenix Mars Mission,” by Andrew Keller. And that's all it sells.*
I'll have to go downtown and check it out. TTT _______ * The link goes to a New York Times article, which may be blocked for some people by the NYT's new paywall. |

I'm reading it right now. Really not sure what to make of it. It's no 'Roving Mars' that's for sure.

Finished it not long after starting. It frustrates me - it's a book that spends page after page lamenting its own and its authors shortcomings. It focuses on things for which the author simply doesn't have the full picture, rather than focus on the things he claimed he wanted to focus on. It's bloggy and ranty in places. At full price, I was left disappointed. For $5 - yeah, it's worth picking up.
