This is the seminal novel of a young man's education as a member of an elite, paternalistic non-military organization of leaders dedicated to preserving human civilization, the Solar Patrol, a provocative parallel to Heinlein's famous later novel, Starship Troopers (which is about the military). Only the best and brightest--the strongest and the most courageous--ever manage to become Space Cadets, at the Space Academy. They are in training to be come part of the elite guard of the solar system, accepting missions others fear, taking risks no others dare, and upholding the peace of the solar system for the benefit of all. But before Matt Dodson can earn his rightful place in the ranks, his mettle is to be tested in the most severe and extraordinary ways--ways that change him forever, from the midwestern American boy into a man of the Solar Patrol.

Three young men do what we all wanted to - they build Rocket Ship Galileo and fly it to the moon. Of course it's not so simple: there are rivals and red tape to overcome, and a totally unexpected and possibly lethal -- surprise waiting for them when they get there. Matt Dodson has heroic dreams of joining Space Patrol, so he becomes a Space Cadet and embarks on the long and difficult training that will show if he can do the job. His mettle is tested to the utmost when, on his first training flight he finds himself in the midst of an interplanetary crisis. Jim Marlowe grew up on the Red Planet, and when he's sent off to boarding school at Syrtis Major, he insists on taking his Martian pet with him. He doesn't anticipate how much trouble friendly little Willis will get him into -- and how paradoxically lucky that will turn out to be. Bill Lerner can't wait to leave an overcrowded Earth and become a Farmer in the Sky on Ganymede. He thinks he's ready for hard work and hardship -- but he has no idea what it will mean when things go wrong and the nearest help is four hundred million miles away!

“The heart-pounding space race is on . . . in this riveting SF thriller” from the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author of Red Lightning and Rolling Thunder (Publishers Weekly, starred review). As Chinese and US spacecraft compete to be the first to land on Mars, a former astronaut, his cousin, and four teens from Florida decide to take matters into their own hands. If they can quickly build their own space-worthy ship using scrap metal, appliances, and power tools, they have a chance to come from behind—thanks to an inventive new power source that can propel them to the Red Planet within three days. No guts, no glory . . . “Varley’s great strength is in his characterizations, but in Red Thunder he also shows a strong sense of place. . . . If you are willing to simply fantasize about fleeing your office cubicle and becoming a heroic space explorer, this novel will fulfill your wishes.” —The Washington Post “Fast paced . . . Engaging characters.” —Rocky Mountain News “Full of little gems of wit and intelligence.” —Booklist “[A] fun-filled adventure. Varley matches a serious literary style with an outrageous plot, and he’s one of the few writers in the field who could make it work.” —Chronicle
