This never-before-printed science fiction novel by the original "rocket man," Dr. Wernher von Braun, combines technical fact with a human story line in the way that only a true dreamer can realise. This novel takes the reader through the entire adventure - the planning for a Mars mission, the building of the mighty space ships, the long journey, the amazing discoveries made on Mars, and the return home. Gary Holt, former Chief Instructor of Rocket Pilots for the U.S. Space Force, leads a 10-ship multinational team to Mars - a Mars with one surprising difference from our Mars! - and after spending months exploring the red planet, brings his mission home a complete success. This exclusive von Braun treasure comes complete with an appendix of his original calculations and technical drawings, made in the late 1940s, on which the story's journey is based.
