Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"My sweetheart's the Man in the Moon" by Milton Lesser is a science fiction novel written during the mid-20th century. The story centers around the emotional and societal implications of space exploration, particularly focusing on the personal life of Jeanne Peterson, the fiancée of the first man to land on the moon, Captain Tom Bentley. As the narrative unfolds, it explores themes of love, fame, and the commercialization of human emotions amid groundbreaking scientific achievements. The plot follows Jeanne as she grapples with her complex feelings about Tom being in space and the pressures of an unexpected celebrity status that arises from his historic journey. While initially proud of Tom's accomplishment, she feels ambivalent about the public's perception of her and her relationship with him. Faced with opportunistic reporter Dan Lubrano, Jeanne must decide whether to exploit her relationship for fame and fortune or to maintain the integrity of her love. Ultimately, driven by a desire for authenticity and a deep-seated connection with Tom, Jeanne makes a courageous decision to pilot a spacecraft to reunite with him, illustrating her determination to transcend the superficiality surrounding their situation.
