Emmet Mordaunt, Astronomy Ireland’s Education Officer, has reviewed The Sun Kings for the August issue of Astronomy and Space.  He concludes, “Clark is an accomplished storyteller, and I finished this book in a single enthralled sitting.  The science behind the story is effortlessly blended into the narrative, and the book is suitable even for those with no previous knowledge of astronomy.  It’s simply a great read about a fascinating story and comes highly recommended.” You can read the full review in the August edition of Astronomy and Space, on sale at newsagents now.  There is also a feature about the new NASA spaceprobe, Phoenix, that sets off for Mars this month.
