What is it about the Franklin dynasty? Handsome, highly sexed, bright and adventurous, these men (and women) are driven to fly in planes and spacecraft, to slip the surly bonds of Earth and touch the face of the unknown... Two close friends, Helen and Diana, meet trouble as the year 2000 approaches.
