In this one-of-a-kind memoir, Jack Clemons takes readers behind the scenes and into the inner workings of the Apollo and Space Shuttle programs during their most exciting years. Discover the people, the events, and the risks involved in one of the most important parts of space missions: bringing the astronauts back home.
Set in a quiet waterfront town in Delaware at the turn of the last century, the story follows a lawman with a grim demeanor pursuing a charming rogue. Both men have recently disembarked from a steamship from New Jersey, and their presence unsettles a local Nanticoke Indian youth named Sonny, who wishes for their swift departure from Lewes. The narrative explores themes of tension and the impact of outsiders on a small community.
