Paul Hauser

Author Paul Hauser has written five five-star autobiographies and two novellas. Having lived a life of remarkable adventure he enjoys enticing the reader to share his amazing true stories as well as his science fiction.

His first book, "I'm Always Going Somewhere," makes a contribution to the history of mapping and intelligence gathering in the uncharted regions of Latin America. Hired in 1968 as a civilian Geodesist, by the U.S. Department of Defense's Inter-American Geodetic Survey in the Panama Canal Zone, he and his colleagues spent years making detailed maps of lands untouched by civilization and arguably some of the most inhospitable terrains on earth. His book was selected to be placed in the Stanford University Libraries, University of Wisconsin Libraries, Skidmore College, and University of Dresden Library (Germany).

"Inherently Dangerous," his second book, a best-selling autobiography, tells of his life as a U.S. Air Force Weapons Controller Officer in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. His story includes materials that come from declassified Air Force documents as well as memoirs from three fellow officers. His book has been described as a must-read for all military enthusiasts. Many facts/incidents of this conflict are discussed for the very first time. His book has been featured on several national podcasts.

"Three Thousand White People," is his 1973 memoir of working on a U.S. Army Corp of Engineer project near a small town in south-central Alabama. He and his wife started that year not knowing what life was like living in the Deep South, especially when it came to Southern politics, race, and religion. His book reminds you of how many Americans are still denied the rights that we take for granted.

In, "Hazardous Searching for a Strategic Metal," the author relates the true story of when, at 19 years of age, he was hired for a summer job as a field assistant to Ed Robards, a Nevada Bureau of Mines Geologist. He and Ed went into abandoned mines to examine, map, and collect samples of a rare metal called Antimony. The U.S. government considered this metal strategic, especially in wartime. As you come to read his true story, you realize there was a foreseeable danger in doing this work; as there was no way to make a abandon mines completely safe.

"Satellite" is the story of what happens when the governments of the world put no limits on the number of satellites placed in low earth orbit. While reading the book you learn how they are assembled, tracked, and sent into space. As some older satellites start to deteriorate and collide with one another and nations shoot down their derelict satellites, more and more debris accumulates in low orbit space leading to a potential global disaster you will want to learn about.

"Out of Nowhere," is a true story of the author and three fellow high school friends hiking into and out of the Havasupai Indian Reservation in the Grand Canyon in the Spring of 1955. A freak winter storm caught them on the rim of the canyon as they attempted to drive their car in a blizzard to the safety of U.S. Highway 66 at Peach Springs, Arizona. What followed was a near death experience.

"On the Verge of a Nuclear Rocket to Mars," relates how in 1958 the growing need for a strong civilian space mission capability led to a Presidential Executive Order assigning a nuclear rocket development program to the newly established NASA organization. Working with the Air Force and the Atomic Energy Commission several nuclear engines were developed and tested in the 1960's at the Nevada Nuclear Test Site. The book details how this was accomplished. Unfortunately the program was shut down in the early 1970's due to lack of funding and willpower. Today development has started up again with a goal of launching a nuclear rocket in 2027.
