All Up plunges its readers into the cloak-and-dagger espionage and blitzkrieg battles of World War II that swirled around rocketry; it introduces them to extraterrestrial phenomena, secret organizations, and the nail-biting missions launched from Cape Canaveralâas well as the secrets and unknown history behind Apollo 11âs legendary trip to the Moon.
All Up tells the incredible true story of Nazi Germanyâs Wernher von Braun, Soviet Russiaâs Sergei Korolev, and Americaâs Robert Goddard as they work feverishly to fulfill their countriesâ technological, military, and geopolitical objectives while satisfying their own personal obsessions. Alongside the Space Age history is the strange but well-documented trail of UFOsâone that leads to a desperate struggle in the highest corridors of power. Who will control the alien technology for their hidden agendas during the Cold War? Secret services compete worldwide in that ruthless gameâand no one is a more deadly player than the mysterious agent named Rachel, hot on the trail of war criminal, former SS BrigadefÃŧhrer Hans Kammler.
