(1957)(Blast Off at 0300)
(The first book in the Chris Godfrey of U.N.E.X.A. series)A novel by Hugh Walters
If the ladder hadn't slipped when Chris Godfrey was chalking up the sports results - and if Sir George Benson hadn't been passing at that very moment - it might never have happened.
It had become imperative to fire a conscious human being into space and Sir George, who was Director of Research at Woomera, couldn't see how it was to be done until he met Chris.

Then on to Woomera; and, at last, into space...
