What is it, in summary?
It’s an adventure series in the vein of Hardy Boys and Johnny Quest. Rick Brant is the adventure boy in question, who loves inventing sort of useless gizmos. But his intelligence and knack for mechanical engineering always end up saving the day at least once. In the first book The Rocket’s Shadow he is saved from some nameless villains looking to kidnap or kill him by Don Scott, Scotty, an ex-marine who lied about his age to serve. Finding out that Scotty doesn’t have any family left and nowhere to go Rick convinces his father to hire Scotty as security for their research lab, and Scotty quickly becomes like a second son to them.
What do you love about it?
It's a very fun, quick and easy read. Rick and Scotty are great characters who have delightful banter. The writer was himself a scientist and there is a great deal of love and attention paid to the plausibility of the science explored in the series. Plus the Scotty/Rick ship hits my psuedo-incest kink.
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests?
The first book is all that is necessary: The Rocket's Shadow
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence) - this is at your discretion and is not expected to be comprehensive: It's a book series written in the 50s there are period typical -isms imbedded in the writing at times.
