Synopsis

Brought to you by Penguin.

From the #1 bestselling author of Hello, is this Planet Earth? and Ask an Astronaut
__________________
'What surprised me was how entirely serene I felt. I was weightless, no forces exerting themselves on my body. To my left was the Space Station. Below me, gradually going into shadow, was the Earth. And over my right shoulder was the universe.'

In fascinating and personal detail, and drawing on exclusive diaries and audio recordings from his mission, astronaut Tim Peake takes readers closer than ever before to experience what life in space is really like: the sights, the smells, the fear, the sacrifice, the exhilaration and the deep and abiding wonder of the view.

Warm, inspiring and often funny, Tim also charts his surprising road to becoming an astronaut, from a shy and unassuming boy from Chichester who had a passion for flight, to a young British Army officer, Apache helicopter pilot, flight instructor and test pilot who served around the world. Tim's extensive eighteen-year career in the Army included the command of a platoon of soldiers in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, deployment in Bosnia, and operations in Afghanistan.

Full of life lessons for readers of all ages, Limitless is the story of how ordinary can become extraordinary.

Goodreads review by Caroline on August 29, 2021

This book starts off fairly slowly, but gathers momentum as it goes along. To say that Peake has had an action-packed life is an understatement, and I enjoyed the frenetic pace as he moves from one gung-ho adventure to the next. These adventures frequently take him to different parts of the world -......more

Goodreads review by Jason on March 14, 2021

This was a wonderfully easy read that gives you a lot of insight into flying helicopters and the process of becoming an astronaut. You know what though? And whisper this, you could even say it was a little dull in places. I mean, no scandals here, Tim Peake is just a really polite, focused and norma......more
