It is, rather, the contemplative and somewhat melancholy story of a fictional former Apollo astronaut, attempting to find his place in the post-Apollo world of the 1980s. Richard Baedecker has left his unsatisfying corporate job, and now seems adrift, traveling from India to Oregon, meeting with old colleagues, friends, and family. Gradually, and not without some grief, he puts together the pieces of a new life. (  ) codyne | Sep 3, 2007 | Moving novel about a former astronaut who tries to reconnect with his son and find his place after what he feels was an early peak in life. Not really science fiction or fantasy, but more a humanitarian and metaphysical novel about life. (  ) kforeman | Sep 13, 2006 |  sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

| Descrição do livro |
|
Richard Baedecker, an ex-astronaut, must have thought that walking on the moon would be the greatest challenge in his life, until he meets a mysterious woman who leads him through his past to find higher meaning. Baedecker is challenged by his past and throughout his journey confronts his troubled son and the woman he loves. He searches his past through his almost forgotten childhood, his move to Oregon to the death flight of the Challenger. He confronts two fellow astronauts, one who claims to have found the truth and one who has found a mystery in death.
Richard Baedecker once walked on the moon, but everything the ex-astronaut has ever done seems only a simulation, a preparation for something bigger. Vivid, compelling and brilliantly written, this is an exploration of the human heart and a journey through regions more remote than the moon. Original to say the least.

That's not exactly a big shock to anyone, but it happens to be basically what this book is about.
An ex-astronaut somewhat aimless after a moon landing, and trying to come to terms with estranged family, what to do, etc, etc.
