Description

Wade Boeman stands at the brink of a historic launch, his mind a battlefield of duty and buried memories. As the massive silver hull of the starship Starfrost looms on the desert sand, the Colonel must suppress personal doubts and the ghost of a missing comrade while overseeing the final countdown. Around him, a tight‑knit crew of engineers, radar operators, and high‑ranking officials move with practiced precision, each aware that the mission could alter the course of humanity.

The narrative unfolds in the hushed control room where tension crackles louder than the radios, and the weight of secrecy presses on every decision. With a seasoned Secretary of Defense watching closely, Boeman grapples with the paradox of being a soldier tasked with forgetting while the world holds its breath for a breakthrough. The opening offers a vivid portrait of military discipline, hidden rivalries, and the quiet heroism of those who remain unseen even as they prepare to launch something truly extraordinary.

About the author

GR

George Revelle

A little-known mid-century pulp writer, this author left behind sharp, idea-driven science fiction that still feels lively today. The surviving record is thin, but the stories themselves show a knack for space-age suspense and satirical twists.
