First Steps - Paperback

by Ed Nelson (Author)

Coming-of-age stories don't have to be all teenage angst. They can be fun-filled adventures that become more serious with age. With humor, we follow a young man's coming of age in the late 1950s. Starting in the summer before his freshman year, he goes through high school and beyond. He finds wealth as an inventor and fame in Hollywood as he searches for a girlfriend. Wealth and fame prove far easier than girls. The 16th book, First Steps, has Rick continuing to explore the moon and outer space. Danger, fame and fortune, and adventure seem to be his lot in life. He and his wife are expecting their first child. He continues to affect the world around him in economic, military, and even religious matters. Gravity control opens the moon and the rest of the solar system. It is found that Man has had visitors in the past. This tongue-in-cheek saga is all true, give or take a lie or two.
