Chester L. Richards, retired aerospace engineer, and inventor - 19 patents, #20 pending - views life as a series of adventures. In surfing, learning and performing music, travel to exotic places, white water rafting, work as a rocket scientist. And writing - he's penned over 60 essays,10 more since his first book. Along the way, Chester's always met fascinating characters. But it was the loss of Sarah, the love of his life, that caused him to write his first book of stories, the award-winning From the Potato to Star Trek and Beyond: Memoirs of a Rocket Scientist. In this second volume in the planned trilogy, titled The Trek Continues, you'll find more stories of the hair-raising adventures and groundbreaking projects Sarah - and now you, Dear Readers - loved, and more about the amazing lady herself. You'll meet more extraordinary people, plus phenomenal cats and a miracle dog named Hector. The author thanks you for your kind response to "The Potato," and hopes you enjoy traveling with him to new narrow escapes from the jaws of death, and musings on his life's theme: every day is an adventure.
