Jane Arden, Space Nurse by Kathleen Harris
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
This apparently continues from an earlier novel that I can’t seem to locate. One of the biggest troubles with this book is that author Harris expects you to have read the first. There are references at times that aren’t well explained, such as a mysterious farm her fiance has.
The story is pretty awful in writing and the conclusion very obvious. The dialogue is also simplistic with characters paper thin. There’s some mild excitement at points and a drifting romantic feel that never is much realized.
The Florida part: Outside of the Cape Canaveral air base part there is little resemblance of Florida outside of the names Cape Canaveral, Vero Beach, Palm Beach and Cocoa.
Where the book excels is the writing of the setting of the air base and the interwoven tale of the early days of the space program. From the Mercury Program to Gus Grissom, details are well described. Despite this:
Bottom line: I do not recommend this book. 3 out of 10 points.
