TOO FAR FROM HOME A Story of Life and Death in Space

Chris Jones explores what it takes not just to be an astronaut, but to live in space for an extended period of time. When the crew of Expedition 6 was unexpectedly stranded on the International Space Station in the wake of Columbia's ashes, they managed to keep it together long enough to safely return home. Through Expedition 6, Jones explains the origins of the Space Station, shining further light upon the international history of space exploration. Erik Davies holds to a serious and steady tone throughout his performance. More assertive than intense, his voice gracefully tackles both the detailed and nuanced factual information alongside the more personable aspects of the book.
