The Astronaut Selection Test Book: Do You Have What it Takes for Space?
This book takes you behind the curtain of astronaut selection, using 100 real tests from ESA screening to show how candidates think, adapt, and perform under pressure. It’s a practical, confidence-building companion for aspiring scientists and puzzle lovers alike, turning the intimidating idea of space eligibility into a series of engaging, solvable challenges.

Limitless: The Autobiography
Limitless is Tim Peake’s unvarnished, often intimate account of training, mission preparation, and life aboard the International Space Station. Drawing on diaries and audio notes, Peake guides readers through the sensory and emotional spectrum of space travel—the awe of Earthrise, the discipline of rock-solid routines, the pressure of deadlines, and the camaraderie that sustains crews in isolation. The book blends memoir with science, offering accessible insights into spacecraft operations, science experiments, and the personal choices that enable extraordinary achievements. It’s a vivid bridge between public fascination and the day-to-day realities of life in microgravity.
