Review: The next frontier - our minds - this is my first experience with the author's work. Both the human qualities between all involved in the book, emotions, childhood histories, etc.were exceptionally written. if you like psychological insight; want to experience what it is like to take a trip to mars this book will fullfill for you. By example the stories show how our minds take us over during stressful times and perhaps our own minds will be the next frontier. This was quite a read. It is not a beach novel. But an insightful viewing of both heros going on a simulated trip to mars and their families left behind waiting for their return. Probably one of the better reads for me. Only give it a try if you are able and willing to think about what each character is saying.
Review: Beautiful, thought-provoking, engrossing - Do you read books based on one-star reviews? I sure do. Several reviews of this one complained that it was so character-driven that almost nothing happened. That's like catnip to me. It was also untrue: Plenty of things happened. But not big explosions, heart-breaking reveals, or dramatic cliff-hanging moments. This is a novel that took place mainly in the characters' minds and hearts. It is exquisitely well done and I adored it. The premise is that a trio of astronauts are preparing for a Mars trip, but they're going to do a 17-month-long dry run before they take the actual trip. They'll be like Biosphere 2, but even more locked in, and they won't even be able to see out even when doing walks on the pretend planetary surface. The novel follows the three main astronauts as well as some of their closest family; the people they have left behind. It's beautiful, it's compelling, it's thought-provoking, and it is a very deftly done novel.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Well written character study that gives no answers
*by A***R on March 22, 2017*

Well written character study that gives no answers, leaving you with a sense of, huh. OK. The writing is good, the characters well explored, especially Helen and her daughter. But as someone else mentioned, there was an implied promise of a plot twist that was never resolved. Resolution is key to reader satisfaction.
