Sobre IBD

It’s October 1962, at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis. High schooler Charlie Gundy wonders if there will be a tomorrow for him to wake up to. When he sees his father standing in the rainy backyard with hammer and saw, Charlie can’t imagine what his father is building. As Charlie negotiates the ups and downs of teenage life and encounters the colorful characters of early science fiction fandom, his father’s creations grow larger and larger: two wooden starships, looming over the family home. What is his father going to do with these starships? After all, they’ll never fly… Or will they? Long-time science fiction master Gordon Eklund takes you on an unforgettable journey to the past… and future!
