Homer Hickam's Latest Sci Fi Novel
Homer Hickam, the author of acclaimed memoir Rocket Boys, and the recipient of VVA’s Excellence in the Arts Award, also has written many other books, including his “Helium-3” a trilogy of science fiction novels: Crater , Crescent , and his latest, Crater Trueblood and the Lunar Rescue Company (Thomas Nelson, 322 pp., $9.99, paper), which was published last month.
As one reviewer put it: “Anybody who grew up reading golden-age science fiction authors like Robert Heinlein… will immediately feel at home in the world [these] novels…anybody who likes the kind of story where it is up to one determined hero and his pals to save the world from certain destruction will have no problem tearing through this tale, in which former miner Crater, now the head of a rescue firm, must once again come to the aid of his one true love.”
