"With its fascinating personalities that only Rinzler could describe, ALL UP can't be put down."
-David Mandel, Emmy–award winning writer/executive producer, Veep & Curb Your Enthusiasm

Mendocino author and resident, J. W. Rinzler, author of the NY Times best-selling The Making of Star Wars and the London Times best-selling The Complete Making of Indiana Jones, is publishing ALL UP - the Faustian engineer Wernher von Braun, occultist/explosive expert Jack Parsons, and Soviet principal designer Sergei Pavlovich Korolev.

While many nonfiction books have been written about aspects of the first Space Age, ALL UP goes more deeply, ranging from the cloak-and-dagger espionage and blitzkrieg battles of World War II to the atomic deserts of Fort Bliss and the nail-biting missions launched at Cape Canaveral. The launch of All Up coincides with the 56th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's historic Moon speech to Congress as well as the 40th anniversary of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.

For a limited time, from Thursday, May 25, 2017, to Wednesday, May 31, 2017, the eBook digital version of ALL UP, normally priced at $9.95, will be on sale at $2.95 on Kindle, iBooks, Kobo, and BN, and at Smashwords. Physical book will be available in July 2017. Review copies available on request.
