About The Book

A Chicano farm boy becomes a NASA astronaut and just as his dreams begin to blast off, he gets lost in the middle of a space war, marooned with crushing regret about his life choices.

What would you do at the absolute moment of truth in your life? Would you hesitate, or act decisively? What are the consequences of each choice?

This is a coming-of-age tale about overcoming anxiety and self- doubt with life lessons and emotional connections that transcend space and time. A Mexican-American farm worker becomes a NASA astronaut and just as his dreams begin to blast off, he gets lost in the middle of a space war, marooned with crushing regret about his life choices.

With a foreword by astronaut José M. Hernández, Major Thomás is an inspiring hero’s journey for young people around the world. “It’s La Bamba meets Lost in Space meets Guardians of the Galaxy.”
