Episode Details

This week, I'm reading the sixth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film.  This chapter introduces Eddie Valentine, the gangster doing the heavy lifting for Hollywood spy Neville Sinclair.  We get some backstory about Eddie that was not in the film as well as an early preview of Neville secret room where he sends encoded messages to his Nazi colleagues who want the rocketpack for themselves.  This is also the scene where Cliff and Peevy strap the rocketpack to a statue of Charles Lindbergh for testing and discover it may be a bit more unpredictable than they anticipated ... though Cliff is undeterred, much to Peevy's chagrin.

As always, thanks for listening!
