Is there life on Mars? Will man ever inhabit the red planet? If you enjoy science books, written in an easy-to-read way, yet give real insight into the events that shaped our history then The Quest for Mars is a 'must read' book. The writing is so good that you will find it more like reading a well-crafted novel than a scientific journey. Bergreen really gives an insight into the main personlaities that have helped move forward our understanding of Mars. He was given access to NASA that many scientists dream of, let alone authors, while scientists and astronauts gave up hours of their time to talk about their work, hope, experiences and visions for the future. The depth of research comes over in the detail of the writing. This is one of the best scientific books you will find and if you have never read a scientific book, then this is one to start you off. (Kirkus UK)
