Aurora 7 / Thomas Mallon.
"This acclaimed novel vividly tells the story of a single day in May-May 24, 1962. While astronaut Scott Carpenter orbits the earth in his Aurora 7 capsule, the lives of a host of characters seem interwoven on the ground below-everyone from a convicted killer to a famous novelist, a New York cabdriver, a conflicted priest, and a British housewife preparing to give birth to a thalidomide-stricken baby. Above all, Aurora 7 tells the story of Gregory Noonan, a spooky suburban fifth-grader obsessed with the space program. The fate of Gregory and his family will prove mysteriously linked to the astronaut's when the boy flees school to watch the perilous climax of Carpenter's mission on the giant TV monitors in Grand Central Terminal"-- Provided by publisher.
