The Space Excursions series follows near-future space missions that push humanity beyond Earth orbit. “Back to the Moon” (2010) imagines a return lunar mission, while “On to the Asteroid” (2016) takes the next step into deep space.
Taylor’s aerospace engineering background gives these books a level of technical detail that fans of hard science fiction appreciate. The focus stays on the practical challenges and dangers of real space exploration.
