(First Planets, book 1)
R W W Greene
"With a deft weaving of rock 'n roll, denim suits, AMC Pacers and nuclear-powered spaceships, Greene effortlessly recreates a 1970s America that could have been. This thoroughly plausible alternate history in which asteroid-slinging aliens threaten a spacefaring human race is narrated by Greene's unlikely hero, Brooklyn Lamontagne. Seemingly a brash young ne-er-do well, Brooklyn is redeemed by his love for his mother and his loyalty to his friends and you can't help but root for him as he navigates a rocky path from the cold streets of NYC to the moon and beyond. As the stakes intensify and the mystery around earth's implacable enemy deepens, the story becomes a ride as fast as an Oppenheimer-powered rocket and you won't want it to stop. Can't wait to see what comes next!"
