Rocket Man is definitely an exciting book of fiction that encompasses actual events in the United States race for the moon! It is interlaced with intrigue, romance, suspense, nationalism and the fixed intention of a devoted son to right a wrong and honor his father. I highly recommend Rocket Man to anyone interested in the U.S. Space Program…especially if you enjoy imaginative situations that appear to be real. “Eastern Light”, as you will learn more about when you read the book, is absolutely thought provoking. In today’s world where the threat of nuclear war exists almost on a daily basis, Rocket Man makes evident the very real possibilities, completely unknown to the common man, of what “might have been” or worse yet, “what could be”. Read it…you will enjoy the passionate & real love affair between Pete and Jesse, the two astronauts chosen for the next trip to the moon. It will also cause you to give more comprehensive thought to the potential dangers of the Space Age.
