Adultery, intrigue, and a peeping Tom caused a blast that rocked the base! An explosive novel of a new type of community—a missile testing center—where passions are as volatile as the rockets themselves. Let us check the selling points. First of all we have adultery going on with a peeping Tom watching. How much do you want to bet that the reader gets to see through the eyes of the peeping Tom? Of course, the missiles and their explosive volatility can in no way be seen as a phallic metaphor. Perish the thought! Perhaps Jim LAYne was a respected author. For the 1950’s, the “survivor” (a woman who survives by giving men what they want most) in the cover was essentially pornographic whereas today her attire is perfect for a shopping spree at WalMart. Back then, even if the idea of being with another partner crossed a man’s mind, The Church said he was guilty of adultery. And finally, there is voyeurism to contend with. But hey, they say confession is good for the soul.
