"An exciting journey into space...O'Leary's concept of alternating factual background with an imaginary trip enables the reader not only to travel into space but also to appreciate why he or she is going. "O'Leary is particularly qualified to lead this expedition because of his excellent scientific background, his training as an astronaut, and his continues interest in space/science and writing about it. Equally important, he writes engagingly and keeps the reader involved. "Mars 1999 could become like Gerard O'Neill's The High Frontier, a specialists textbook for the future." - James Michener
Brian O'Leary, a former NASA astronaut, is a noted space lecturer and chairman of the national Space Council. He has served on U.S. congressional staffs and on the faculties of Cornell, University of California at Berkeley, Caltech, and Princeton. A recognized expert on our future in space, Dr. O'Leary has published over 100 papers in the professional literature in planetary science and astronautics. He is the author of several books, including Project Space Station (published by Stackpole), Spaceship Titanic, and Fertile Stars.
