In Beyond the Blue, Greg Klerkx argues that ever since the triumphant Apollo moon missions, the Space Age has been stuck in the wrong orbit, & that NASA, the agency whose daring once fueled the world's extra-terrestrial vision, has been largely responsible for keeping it there. Stripped of its Cold War mandate, NASA has become an introverted technocracy whose signature post-Apollo projects
- the Space Shuttle & the International Space Station
- are perhaps the two most spectacular boondoggles of the modern era. Through it all, NASA has ignored, belittled & in some cases actively quashed the one concept that could change the equation for the future of humans in space: human spaceflight as a free market activity. Despite this, a new Space Age is, in fact, in the making, led by dreamers, investors, inventors & even renegades from NASA itself. Drawn from dozens of interviews, extensive research, & Klerkx's own experiences as a senior manager with the SETI Institute, Beyond the Blue chronicles the flashpoints where the space establishment & the 'alternative' space community are battling for competing visions. Like the dream of space exploration itself, Beyond the Blue is less about science or technology than it is about people: their motivations, their ideas, & how their life's work is driven by an almost biological need to reach for the stars. Written with intelligence, style & wit, it is an elegy for the brief, bright Space Age that was, as well as the first comprehensive chronicle of a dawning new Space Age that could literally change the course of humankind.

This is a unique work filled with passion & violence, with humanity & inhumanity. It is the story of Northern Ireland troubles told as never before; it is not concerned with the political bickering buth with the lives of those who have suffered & deaths which have resulted from more than three decades of conflict.

The authors
- four of them Belfast-born & the fifth an American
- are journalists & historians. For over a decade, they have examined every single death that was directly caused by the troubles. Their research has seen them interview witnessess, scour published material & draw on a huge range of investigative sources to produce a work of epic proportions. Never before has conflict anywhere in the world been subjected to such meticulous scrutiny.

Lost Lives traces the origins of the conflict from the firing of the first shots, through the carnage of the 1970s & 1980s to the republican & loyalist ceasefires & beyond. All the casualties are here: the RUC officer, the young soldier, the IRA volunteer, the loyalist paramilitary, the Catholic mother, the Protestant worker, the newborn baby. Each account is impossible to ignore.

As a reference book, Lost Lives is indispensable; as a landscape of history painted in fine detail it is unique. For anyone interested in Northern Ireland
