Enterprise Stardust
(1969)(The first book in the Perry Rhodan series)
A novel by Walter Ernsting and Kurt Mahr
Perry Rhodan is the classic tale of boy meets girl, boy likes girl, boy gets girl. Except it extends to somewhere around 2600 volumes in the original German. This book is the English translation that was started in 1969 and ran out of steam in the USA in volume #117/118.
I believe that the original premise of Perry Rhodan was fairly original. A spaceship takes off from the USA and finds a crashed alien spaceship on the moon. This premise has been copied a few times, most notably in David Weber's _Mutineers_Moon_, a work of five star excellence in my humble opinion.
I also am a big fan of the technology in the first issue of PR. The space ship that PR flies to the moon is a chemical first stage and nuclear second and third stages. I am in total belief that the lack of nuclear rocket engines is one of the failures of our current space program.
Genre: Science Fiction
