About this listen
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
©2020 Tim Peake (P)2020 Penguin AudioCritic reviews
'For someone who has literally been out of this world Tim's an incredibly down to earth guy and I think you'll be amazed at some of the things he has done ... it's so inspiring to know that even going into space didn't change him as much as being a parent did.' JOE WICKS
'Tim is one of our nation's good guys - and his story is a testament to his courage, kindness and a never-give-up spirit.' BEAR GRYLLS
'Fasten your seatbelt for an exhilarating read ... His accounts of blasting into orbit at 25 times the speed of sound and floating, weightless, around the space station are enthralling.' EXPRESS
Absolutely amazing and fun to listen too

A thoroughly nice bloke and a thoroughly good book

For a start, an autobiography always feels so much more authentic when it is read by the author themselves, so Tim was already off to a head start in that regard. The book definitely focuses more on the army and helicopters than on Space, but, Tim spent more time in the army and helicopters than in Space as an astronaut, so what else would you expect? While it was the astronaut part that drew me to this book, I found all the other stories equally as interesting and exciting, and, when it finally came, the Space part certainly didn't disappoint.
Tim just comes across as such a nice person, as well as a truly good human being, so it seems only fair that he would become the new face of UK presence in Space. His lobbying and push for increased UK spending and contribution in the industry is quite remarkable, especially to a UK based Space enthusiast like myself.
All in all, I have no doubts that anyone interest in the army, Space, or both would thoroughly enjoy this book. Highly recommend.
Much better than I expected
