The Last Pilot begins in the bone-dry Mojave Desert during the late 1940s, where US Air Force test pilots are racing to break the sound barrier. Among the exalted few is Jim Harrison: dedicated to his wife, Grace, and their baby daughter. By the 1960s, the space race is underway and Harrison and his colleagues are offered a place in history as the world’s first astronauts. Jim is faced with the decision of whether to accept his ticket to the moon and at what cost.©2015 Benjamin Johncock (P)2015 Blackstone Audio, Inc Biographical Fiction Family Life Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction World Literature Biography Aviation US Air Force Air Force

An enjoyable story, well-narrated. Not what I expected - more about relationships than technical 'spacey' stuff, but enjoyable nonetheless. A good period feel to the story, the overall atmosphere is melancholy and meditative. Recommended.
