Dani Mitchell

She is young, madly ambitious, and at a high point in her reporting career. Her assignment is an exclusive interview with Elvis Presley, but the King is nowhere to be found! Her efforts to track him down lead her into a web of NASA deception, and the bed of one of NASA’s big brains. Will she discover what the connection is and win a Pulitzer or interview a group of long-haired British rockers instead? Or will Dani simply go crazy?

Jack Monroe

The NASA Administrator and Operation Blue Moon mastermind drinks scotch rocks, parties with the Kennedy’s and hates the Communists. This former adviser to JFK rides in a limo everywhere he goes and never has a hair out of place. His goal is to embarrass the Soviets and win the space race with a sensational moon landing sure to go down as the greatest moment in history. Don’t cross him because his close ties to Nixon and J.Edgar Hoover mean that when things don’t go his way he will sacrifice the truth to save his reputation. He already has a 48-page file on YOU!

Peter Dixon
An Elvis fanatic and the #2 man at NASA, his dedication to the first moon landing is topped only by his collection of Elvis memorabilia. He is a brilliant thinker, but if he lets his loneliness get the best of him, he may betray the mission. The stress is no good for his ulcer, which is getting worse every day.

The King
He is recruited by Monroe and Dixon for a very special mission. Elvis is always willing to serve his country…even if it means going on a diet.

Jimmy Orr

Don’t see any difference? Most people didn’t.
