About the Book

Flying is one thing . . . but landing in one piece is another thing altogether.
Every Rocketman is destined to crash. But only some are willing to fly again.

Ever since he was a kid, Dan Schlund was showman-but not the kind pulling rabbits from hats. It was adrenaline he was after, and that meant spectacular feats of physical daring. To Dan, he was just a thrill-seeking entertainer having a blast. To others, he was right in between daredevil and crazy. The truth might lie somewhere in between-but one thing's certain: he was born to be a Rocketman.

In this memoir of resilience, faith, and seeking purpose through pushing physical limits, Schlund shares how his path from stuntman to medic led him to becoming one of the few remaining Rocketbelt pilots in the world. It's a story of hard-won wisdom earned through pain and self-doubt, of losing heroes and finding the hero within. It's also about a technology so dangerous as to provoke fear in any rational mind, so coveted as to inspire obsession among rivals, yet so admired as to endlessly capture hearts and minds across generations.

Many say it's a miracle Dan Schlund is alive. But The Last Rocketman shows that his risks weren't just personal-they were about setting the stage for the next generation of pioneers to take the Rocketbelt to heights unimaginable.



About the Author :
Dan Schlund, also known as "The Rocketman," detailing his extraordinary journey of personal and professional growth through experiences as a Rocketbelt pilot. It begins with his early fascination with flight, the influence of his family's struggles, and the challenges he faced in his career, including a traumatic crash that nearly ended his life. Schlund reflects on the nature of "crashing," both literally and metaphorically, exploring themes of resilience, faith, and the emotional toll of his profession. Despite facing significant setbacks, including addiction and difficulties in marriage, he ultimately finds redemption and purpose through fatherhood and his work as a paramedic. The memoir concludes with Schlund's realization that while his dream of being a Rocketman has transformed, the essence of adventure and personal fulfillment continues in new ways.

Review :
"Dan Schlund has led a life about which we all fantasize. As adolescents, we've all wanted to fly and as adults, we've all wanted to know what it feels like. Dan is able to tell his story with all the details, dangers and insights that come with his years of experience. As a witness to his flying, I can testify to the thrill. As a witness to his life, I can testify to the value of reading this book." --John Naber, Olympic Champion, Author and Television Announcer
