Rescue One: Breaking Point by Michael Gardner is a science fiction short story about Antonio, a scientist turned astronaut, who takes a maiden flight on an experimental spaceship.Brilliant inventor Antonio Baros is so sure of his faster-than-light technology that he spares no political maneuvering to win the notoriety of being the space ship’s first pilot. Finally getting his way, Antonio straps in and takes this historic thirty-second trip. To die on the flight would have been bad enough. Surviving what really happened was far worse.Rescue One: Breaking Point is a dandy prequel to the novel Rescue One. Delicious hubris mixed with homage to Einstein made for a fun read.
