Getaway Special

Allen Meisner's ideas do not have quite the effect he desires. While the ability to travel great distances excites some, it terrifies others. Earth is in chaos as governments prepare for war to control this unleashed power. With everyone waiting for a bomb now propelled by hyperdrive to fall, Allen and his shuttle pilot Judy Gallagher look for a way to save humanity. With electronic parts from Radio Shack and a plastic septic tank from a lumberyard, they build their own space craft and go in search of habitable planets. Armed with new allies, an intelligent butterfly and a tempermental tree, they return to Earth for a final showdown between fear and freedom.Oltion, Jerry is the author of 'Getaway Special' with ISBN 9780312877781 and ISBN 0312877781.
