This is the second volume in a new series that the author has written on space exploration.  

Mike Mars, received the thrill of a lifetime when he was chosen as one of the seven astronauts for the coveted task of being the first to fly the rocket ship X-15.
But even before he is sure this prize will be his, unusual and mysterious events occur.
The reader enters the world of excitement, thrills and true to life training as they follow the adventures of Mike Mars. 

The author, Donald Wollheim wanted to bring this story to life for the reader and authenticated it as much as possible by visiting 9 Air Force bases around the country and flying 20,000 miles to gather his material.
