About This Item
[London]: Macmillan, [2000]., 2000. First edition. First edition. Fine in fine dust jacket. In the year 1958, Dr. Claude Lucas wakes up one morning in Washington, D.C.'s Union Station, dressed as a bum. The victim of amnesia, he has no recollection that he is a key player in the upcoming launch of Explorer 1, the Army's latest attempt to get a rocket into space. While Lucas slowly unravels the clues to his identity, the CIA follows its own agenda. The agency has its own murky reasons for wanting Lucas to remain amnesic, and will kill him if he tries to interfere with the launch.
Synopsis
This tale of espionage, betrayal, and suspense takes place during the cold war and describes a conflict in the U.S. and Russian space race. The main character wakes with amnesia and has to determine what is truth and who is out to get him. As Luke Lucas carefully unravels the mystery of his amnesia, he realizes that his fate is bound to a rocket that stands ready on launch pad 26B at Cape Canaveral.
