“Shawyer gives an insider’s view on the gestation and development of EmDrive technology over the decades and a thorough account of the underlying theory of operation. A unique addition to the literature on propellentless drives. This book is an important one in terms of making the case for why such drives deserve to be explored and their potential to contribute not just to the current satellite industry, but to the future of space exploration and space travel.” - David Hambling, Journalist, Forbes, WIRED
