I have somewhat qualified feelings about the book. I enjoyed it, it moved along, I'm now better informed, I'm glad to have read it. That said, it's a case of the defects of its virtues, for me. There wasn't enough "meat" in it. I recognize the difficulty in that not much is known about Harrison's life, but I'd have liked a more immersive experience in his times. Still most entertaining and informative; I think it was at its best when it laid out the crying need for a means to determine longitude.
I can only echo Dazrin, though, that it's a crime the ebook has no pictures!
