It is time to start colonizing the solar system. Ex-astronaut, current space advisor, and all-out troubleshooter for the president, Jake, is determined to make it happen.
And what better way than to return to America’s glory by returning to the moon and setting up a permanent moon-base which can then serve as the launching pad for Mars and beyond.
But as usual, political intrigue and conflicting priorities are threatening the whole program. Add to that a president who is about to die, a strong contingent in the legislative body which thinks that money spent on a moon-base is money wasted, and the general apathy of the public, and you have an almost impossible task.
Even NASA, natural enthusiasts of a project like this, are dragging their feet because they have lost control of the top-spot in the project.
But none of those opposing forces have contended with the resolve and the skill of Jake Ross. He will create the base on the moon. He will send humans out to many worlds.

Has an old sci fi feel to it that I like a great deal, while still being set in modern times.
Wasn't sure what to expect but...

Strangely, the climax of the book has very little to do with the bulk of the story. It’s almost as if the author started writing with one end in mind, then changed mid-way through, and in the end went with a third idea. There’s nothing wrong with the book per se, it’s just rather meandering.
Sci-Fi or political thriller?

Not one of his best.

I started thre books from Mr. Bova, written recently, and only finished this one. I will look to his earlier work to give him one last chance.
Military coups, senate appropriation sessions and young woman looking for her next married man to sleep with belong somewhere else.
I was hopeful when part of the story concerned a permanent moon base and an exo-planet discovered around a near galaxy. Sadly, the story snapped back to it's near glacier like crawl after a few paragraphs.
This could not have been more disappointing.
Save a few hours and choose a soap opera for entertainment. At least the commercials might give you some excitement.
NOT SCIENCE FICTION!
