From the book reviews:
"The book is set out in nine chapters, runs to 122 pages and has a further 40-page appendix usefully setting out the relevant space treaties. The author covers a range of topics from security of global navigation systems, to space tourism and insurance. ... The reader does not necessarily need to be a lawyer, nor know anything about space law to enjoy this book." (Darcy Beamer-Downie, Aerospace, November, 2014)
