- Synopsis
- Written as science fiction in 1964, this is the story of a secret project to send one man to the moon instead of three. The race to the moon with the Russians is tight and sending one man might help the americans gain the advantage. A colonel is ready to go, but there's another reluctant candidate, astronaut civilian steve Lawrence. Which will be chosen, and will the project be approved or quashed? How does the situation effect the friends and families of the astronauts? How will the president weigh political and moral questions when deciding whether to allow this dangerous mission to proceed? THE PILGRIM PROJECT explres all these issues in a suspenseful and heart-touching narrative which might now be viewed as alternate history. The book was the basis of Robert Altman's film "Countdown."
