James A Michener’s Space is such a complete work of fiction that it doesn’t just underscore the patriotic heroism of the Space Race. It also displays the media bias of the time towards pristine American heroes and the sad triumph of going to the Moon, only to turn away from science after the accomplishment.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the natural beauty of Maryland’s Eastern Shore. James Michener’s novel Chesapeake will paint the Eastern Shore in factual beauty with fictional tales from more than five families covering almost four centuries along the shores of the Choptank River feeding into the Chesapeake Bay.
