Description: "brings new life to a magical and long-vanished era of televised sf...a valuable analysis of a nearly lost part of our cultural heritage"-- Booklist ; "long-overdue...one of the most comprehensive studies of a television show...most remarkable...excellent...very interesting...highly recommended"-- Classic Images ; "the author has compiled a pretty exhaustive history of that program"-- Critical Mass ; "very welcome"-- Roaring Rockets ; "a loving look back"-- Communication Booknotes Quarterly ; "It's finally here! The book we've all been waiting for! And was it ever worth the wait!. It's all here in more detail than we had any right to expect or even think possible...Bassior probes the memories and--more tellingly--the emotions of all her subjects in such unexpected detail that one is tempted to say she has captured and frozen, not just Space Patrol, but an entire slice of the 1950s for all of time...too fascinating to put down"-- SwapSale.com ; "involving in-depth coverage"-- Midwest Book Review ; "a beautiful and inspirational glimpse into a world that cannot be recaptured...a comprehensive look at a slice of mid-20th century American life, thought and culture that will be cherished for decades...a major accomplishment"--James J.J. Wilson, Managing Editor, Filmfax magazine; "I was just out of school at the Pasadena Playhouse, knocking on agency doors by day and working in an ice cream parlor by night. Here were these Space Patrol actors. Working . I was so jealous. Not only did they have jobs which they seemed to enjoy, but the stories led them into fantastic adventures where the imagination could roam free. Groundbreaking!"--Leonard Nimoy; "This is your old friend "Captain" Jack Narz inviting you to turn the pages of this book and relive the heart-stopping adventures of the Space Patrol crew and the real heart-stopping adventure of putting on a live TV show. In my forty-plus years of television, being a part of Space Patrol was a once in a lifetime experience never to be equaled--and Bassior captures it all. Fascinating!"--Jack Narz; "These stories of the early productions on live television are wonderful. What an amazing time!"--Bradford Macneil, Director of Education & Public Programming, Pasadena Museum of History
