For the first time; in one volume; Ben Evans with David Harland will not only tell the story of the hugely successful Voyager missions; but also that of the men and women who have devoted their entire working lives to them. Illustrated with stunning images; some in color; they describe the missions from their conception; through their spectacular encounters with the outer planets and on to their ultimate and; as yet; unknown destination among the stars in the so-called Voyager Interstellar Mission

Viva EspañaBy Max PrendergastRené Chartrand has become Osprey's go-to author for non-British colonial America; and this is another fine effort from his pen; richly supported with excellent color illustrations by David Rickman. Format is typical of the well-established Osprey Men-at-Arms series. That said; Osprey texts can be of highly variable quality. This is one of the first-class examples. The author not only gives details of units and uniforms (the original mission of the Men-at-Arms series); but an excellent; though very brief; history of Spanish colonial units; their composition; equipment; mission and campaigns in the 1700's from California through the southwest and Louisiana and into Florida. This is an excellent addition to the vast Osprey catalog; and highly recommended for anyone truly interested in colonial America or the Spanish Empire.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
