what might be waiting beyond the world known to human beings. It recounts
encounters, explorations, dangers, and both accomplishments and
failures..." " ...This book is fascinating, exciting, and filled with
adventure and discovery. It is truly an excellent read, and I highly
recommend it." -- Dorothy W. Worth

"Ellagene by Tony DiPaola,
Jr. is a must read for anyone with imagination and curiosity about the
wonders of space. Two men have a hare-brained, wild, uttterly implausible
dream: to build a rocket and launch themselves into space for a trip far
outside our galaxy. Relax; it may sound ridiculous but it works. Let your
imagination take over and you will be there with them, spreading your wings,
on an unforgettable journey. The author skilfully weaves in the day-to-day
world here on earth as well, so harsh reality and dreams begin to work
together. It is a shame that the book publishing industry today is so
concentrated on mass marketing that an enjoyable book like Ellagene
cannnot even get noticed by the mass media. We wish Agile Books luck and
persistence. Eventually, satisfied readers will have an impact...." --
