Five Rockets

Accomplished sci-fi writer Sean Monaghan's remarkable stories entertain right from the opening words. Rocket jockey Anynda Parson braves the brisk cold of the launch pad, among the calls of wild birds, the swirls of rampant grass and the harsh tang of volatile fuels. The moments before the rocket race blast off invigorate her with a mix of eager tension and nervous energy. She lives for the races.
But flying a rocket brings danger. Danger which thrusts racers into split-second, life-threatening decisions. A dynamic, propulsive story that jets you from the ground to the very edge of space.
