A sparkling work of narrative nonfiction... Dr. Harvey-Smith casts deep-space phenomena such as stars, magnetic fields and nebulae not as remote and impersonal entities but as 'temperamental personalities' with human-like quirks, frailties and emotional relationships... Having hard science presented in the form of lively character sketches is a godsend for those who may find the details of conventional nonfiction hard to retain. Readers will finish this narrative feeling both better-informed and in awe of the vast forces at work.-- The Wall Street Journal (5/1/2021 12:00:00 AM)
