True-Life Jetpack Murder Tale Gets US Book Release – and It's Free

Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom, June 29, 2009 --(PR.com)-- A much-talked-about book telling the bizarre true story of a murder mystery involving a Buck Rogers-style flying jetpack gets a first US release this month, and is also re-released in the UK, both editions published by Superelastic.

The Rocketbelt Caper by Paul Brown tells the true story of three Texans who set out to build an amazing jetpack called the Rocketbelt 2000. Their obsession with the rocketbelt 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.

The book also uncovers the history of the rocketbelt, from sci-fi to reality, involving Buck Rogers, James Bond, Nazi scientists and the US Army.

The Rocketbelt Caper was originally published in the UK two years ago. Movie rights have been optioned by a major Hollywood studio.

The US paperback edition of The Rocketbelt Caper is out June 29, 2009, available from all good bookstores including Amazon.com, priced $11.95. The new UK paperback edition is available from Amazon.co.uk, priced £7.99.

Uniquely, for a limited period, readers can get both the paperback and ebook editions free from the author's website.
