Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although it was not successful in its short 39-episode run, and it was plagued with all manner of off-screen troubles, ROCKY JONES, SPACE RANGER is still watched regularly today on YouTube and on DVD --- one thing it did right was use film rather than broadcast live, so while more popular shows disappeared, ROCKY JONES survived. This is the story of brave, handsome, and skilled Rocky Jones, co-pilot Winky, and navigator Vera, and their adventures throughout the solar system. It was light-hearted space opera - and the comics captured that colorful style perfectly. ROCKY JONES appeared in four issues of Space Adventures, coinciding with the launch of the TV show. This is 1950s space action at its best!

Book excerpt: Of all the spaceman programs that graced early-day commercial television during the 1950s, ROCKY JONES, SPACE RANGER proved to be the most daring and adventurous -- and the most technically accomplished, what with its pioneering real-film photography and a wealth of persuasive special effects. But the series also faced challenges from an unstable member of the key supporting cast, cost overruns, and the simple fact that ROCKY JONES came along too late in the game to compete against a glut of inferior outer-space programs. Now, historian Jan Alan Henderson tells the deep-focus back-story of ROCKY JONES from primary-source accounts, from a generation-long research project, and from a genuine fondness for the program -- having relished ROCKY JONES in its original run. Henderson is tehe author of the acclaimed special-FX bio, THE LEGENDARY LYDECKER BROS., and an acknowledged authority on TV's ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN and its complex background. Henderson's ROCKY JONES survey sheds new light on a neglected cultural icon of the 20th century -- a program that in many respects served as the STAR TREK before STAR TREK.

Book excerpt: This is the seminal novel of a young man's education as a member of an elite, paternalistic non-military organization of leaders dedicated to preserving human civilization, the Solar Patrol, a provocative parallel to Heinlein's famous later novel, Starship Troopers (which is about the military). Only the best and brightest--the strongest and the most courageous--ever manage to become Space Cadets, at the Space Academy. They are in training to be come part of the elite guard of the solar system, accepting missions others fear, taking risks no others dare, and upholding the peace of the solar system for the benefit of all. But before Matt Dodson can earn his rightful place in the ranks, his mettle is to be tested in the most severe and extraordinary ways--ways that change him forever, from the midwestern American boy into a man of the Solar Patrol. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
