'We finished the rocketbelt, and from then on there was murder, kidnapping, and all kinds of other stuff'. When three friends set out on a quest to build a real-life Buck Rogers-style flying machine, their obsession with the Rocketbelt 2000 shattered their friendship and set in motion an astonishing chain of events involving theft, deception, assault, a bizarre kidnapping, a ten million dollar lawsuit and a horrifically brutal murder. From sci-fi to reality, this is the incredible true story of the amazing rocketbelt. It includes sixteen pages of colour photographs, plus "Building a Rocketbelt: A Cautionary Essay" by Frank Dickman.
