THE SPACE BARONS Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the Quest to Colonize the Cosmos

While the government--NASA--to be specific, once ruled the heavens, space exploration today is in the hands of billionaires who see space as the final frontier. Their hope is that ordinary citizens will travel into space as routinely as we take planes today. This audiobook tells us how that might happen. Narrator Will Collyer has an energetic, clear voice that matches the exuberance of the story and drives it forward. Collyer also has a keen sense of theater, using his reading to create excitement, suspense, and wonder. He does attempt some character voices, which are not very successful, but that doesn't detract from his performance. And he paces himself well, going neither too slowly nor too quickly through the audiobook. R.I.G. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2018]
