Reviews
Two of the most defining developments of the sixties, the Space Race and the Beatles rise to fame, 'come together' in this fictional memoir that takes off when a young NASA engineer encounters a rock band roadie, Mal Evans, in Hamburg. As both stories unfold in this delightful and informative romp through the '60s, they intersect in surprising ways, treating the listener to a magical mystery tour of science and music. -- Dennis Elsas, iconic rock radio personality, SiriusXM and WFUV Recounts two of the most inspiring moments in human history--the rise of the Beatles and their messages of Love with the rise of the NASA Space Program and its message of hope. So it should be no surprise that a book about singing and soaring would do exactly the same in audiobook format. The details of the extraordinary highlights of both phenomena are voiced by the talented Graham Halstead in this roller coaster ride of success and failure that is intrinsic to both stories. Not only does Halstead seamlessly voice the two narrators...he performs a multitude of historical figures with aplomb. Among them are the NASA astronauts and ground personnel, US presidents, each of the Beatles as well as members of their entourage. Listening to this story is simply the best way to fly Into The Sky with Diamonds! I encourage everyone to take this trip. -- Vivek J. Tiwary, award-winning Broadway producer and author of The Fifth Beatle (audio review) Listening to this story is simply the best way to fly Into The Sky with Diamonds! I encourage everyone to take this trip. -- Vivek J. Tiwary, award-winning Broadway producer and author of The Fifth Beatle (audio review)
