In Atomic Adventures, Takei recounts his childhood in the Japanese internment camps of World War II, his struggles as a young actor trying to break into Hollywood, and his eventual rise to fame as Sulu on the original Star Trek series.
Takei's unique perspective as both an insider and an outsider to the space race offers a fresh and insightful look at one of the most pivotal moments in human history. He shares his encounters with the likes of Wernher von Braun, the father of the Saturn V rocket, and Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon.
Takei's writing is as engaging as his personality, and Atomic Adventures is a must-read for anyone interested in the space race, American history, or the life and times of a true Hollywood legend.

Author's Note
I wrote Atomic Adventures to share my story with the world. I hope that my experiences will inspire others to pursue their dreams, no matter how difficult they may seem. I also hope that my book will help to shed light on the history of the space race and the important role that Asian-Americans played in this great adventure.
