Mesmerizing intensity . . .daring . . . <i>Konstantin </i>fascinatingly brings us an imagined portrait of a boy turning into a man that refuses to give us any simple solutions

Bullough succeeds in translating the science of lunar travel into concrete, apposite and lyrical imagery...Here is a writer with a sculptor's sensibility
