FROM A NEW INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION TO THE FIRST CONTACT WITH AN ALIEN SPECIES, RESTLESS HUMANITY PRESSES ONWARD IN THIS TOUR DE FORCE BY JACK L KNAPP!
Rockets are inherently limited; at some point, fuel and oxidizer become too heavy and the rocket itself too complicated. But what if there was a better way? A true electronic space drive, reliable, safe, and cheap to operate?
Threatened industries try to shut the company down, governments try to take it over. But when the need is great, great men step forward! Men like Frenchy, the financier, and Chuck, the man of action! Follow along as they lead humanity on its ultimate journey to space!
Fans of Carl Sagan, Arthur C. Clarke, and Jerry Pournelle will love this hard-SF series!

Interesting approach combining near future with imaginative science—Amazon Customer
A real “hard” science fiction novel. Jack Knapp continues to write a good story. I love that his editing is also superb. No more errors than I’d find in a professionally published book.--Ronald Q. Smith
