The Rocket and the Skull | 2000 Plus Space Thriller
Shownotes
A pilot survives a disastrous crash. The operation that saves him leaves something far stranger inside his head.
In "The Rocket and the Skull", Colonel Bradbury is crucial to a secret mission to reach the Moon. After an experimental flight goes wrong, a skull injury and an unusual medical repair bring disturbing signals into the story. Meanwhile, hidden enemies have their own plans for the space program.
What begins as a military emergency becomes a mystery involving espionage, experimental technology and messages connected to Mars. Can the authorities trust the information they are receiving, and can the mission survive the forces working against it?
