Just finished reading "DC Jones and Adventure Command Control Your TV Set" by Jim Beard, published by Becky Books.
Beard's DC Jones novels are an open love letter to the boys' Adventure toys of the early 70s (G.I. Joe, Big Jim., etc). In volume 4, Beard pays tribute to the live action and animated series of the 1970s - The Six Million Dollar Man, etc. - that often accompanied those toys. Spun as the only surviving "novelizations" of a handful of episodes of the "long lost" Adventure Command International one season TV series, this book has everything those shows had: weird science gadgets, mid-episode cliffhangers, episode plots that touch on sensitive issues for that era in American culture -Single parenthood! Small town prejudice! Teenage delinquency! - set against the backdrop of an alien invasion - similar to the classic "The Invaders" television show.
Great Fun! I'm looking forward to seeing how Beard movies DC Jones and Adventure Command International in the next novel which will see "Adventure Command versus Super-Adventure Command."
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
TEN STARS!
