Starclimber review by HH_NSOrange

This book is about Matt Cruise and his adventures. It is hard to place in a single genre, but I would say it is an Adventure/Action/Romance novel. Mr. Cruise starts out building a huge tower in Paris. He leaves his job in Paris after a mishap, and then is drafted by the Canadian government to become a space flyer. After a series of rigorous tests, he is then told he is not allowed on the Starclimber, a ship that literally climbs its way into space.
