Mark Knopfler – Last Exit To Brooklyn
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
This is not what I was expecting. I was expecting:
The wheels of my old car are turning, burning up the highway
Tonight that girl of mine will be yearning for not learning to see things my way
She hurt me for the very last time, I’m not hanging around
I’ll show her I can leave her behind
I’m getting out of town (I’m getting out of town)
I wont back down (I wont back down)
I won’t back down (I wont back down)
Last exit to Brooklyn, last chance to turn around
Last exit to Brooklyn, gonna keep these wheels of mine covering ground.
Must be my age.
