T-Minus tells the story of the space race right up until the moment Neil Armstrong steps on the moon (sorry to ruin the ending). The graphic novel is aimed at young readers but it's filled with facts that will engage all ages.
"The crisp artwork is filled with first-rate detail."
~Mark McGinty, author of The Cigar Maker

"[A] remarkably thorough explanation of the science of genetics, from Mendel to Venter, with a strand of social urgency spliced in."
