Description:

Here’s a retro science fiction novel that baby boomers will appreciate. If your childhood dream was to pilot a rocket ship, live on the moon, or travel to the stars, this is the sci-fi adventure for you! In 1966 my teenage friends and I were enthralled by the prospect of space travel. I envisioned building a personal spacecraft, lunar outpost, and an asteroid starship. This didn’t seem like a stretch to me, any more than a time-traveling UFO landing in my back yard did! One fateful night I had the opportunity to see the future, and it was everything that I imagined. My now-grown friends had found the means to achieve our dreams—although, not quite the way I predicted, after all, life has a way of exacting its toll. Luckily, I arrived in time to witness the completion of our greatest scientific endeavor. Join me now for a good old-fashioned, outer space adventure with the awe and mystery that you haven't experienced since you were, well...a kid!

Different from the science fiction I am used to

14 Nov 2007

This is the kind of science fiction that my uncles might have gotten into and I am waiting for some of my lulu.com funds so I can grab this up for my sister as a Christmas present. Since she's a little freaked out by the postcyberpunk or cyberpunk science fiction that I play around with when I write Science Fiction, reading this one damn it felt like I was stepping into something weirder but something cool.

I personally couldn't write this particular style of science fiction but I've read stories in this style and have to give the writers of this kind of science fiction a lot of credit for doing this style. Being that many of the science fiction stories I write stemmed off the 1950s creature Science Fiction, it is something I can appreciate greatly.

I give you a lot of credit for doing this type of book and when I did an autobiography illustrating how A.C. Clarke and Philip K. Dick's science fiction became the reality in the 1990s. This one very imaginative to boot, and I give the author kudos by just reading the preview.

This book took me back to the classic sci-fi adventures that got me hooked on the genre when I was about the same age as the science geeks of the Astropolitan Rocket Club. Just techy enough to make it interesting for a new, computer savy generation, it's balanced with plenty of fun and humor that will keep you reading cover to cover. I recommend it to readers of all ages.

I've read the book several times and every time I do, I have more of an understanding of the author's thoughts in writing this simple, yet complex novel. Time travel has always fascinated me, and the concepts the author presents and the way he presents them are brought out in such a way that one could believe his story to be true. The novel is lighthearted with a serious note, fiction yet plausible, and creative with a touch of humor. For anyone who enjoys science fiction, this adventure is for you. It is a must for any SciFi home library!
