Author Earl Perkins Debuts Thriller Novel that Directs Readers into the Wonder of the 1960s Space Scene

 
Inspired by his dream of telling a great story and fascination with the U.S. space scene, Earl Perkins pens an international thriller set in the glorious years of the space industry: the 60s. He sets the scene when the device was planted in a probe on the moon’s surface by the USSR. If beckoned by Moscow, the device is capable of setting off dangerous nuclear weapons.
 
Thirty years into the story, “Rocket Man” blasts off when Pete Allen has been called to his long-lost father’s funeral and learns about his past: that his father went on secret missions to put a stop to the Russian device. After this discovery, he and his girlfriend, Jesse are now tasked to finish what his father has started. Inspired to restore his family’s honor as well as the country’s safety, Pete and Jesse bravely take on the mission.
 
Wrapped around the plot is an insightful recollection of the early days of space flight. The author references quotes from notable personalities during this period like Neil Armstrong and John F. Kennedy. Along with that, he recalls the Mercury Seven crew members. Such narrative provides readers a good look into the space scene as well as the world of space espionage during these years making this exciting novel worth the read.
