  • Hi, welcome to SF&F. When did you read this? How many books in the series did you read? Do you remember any of the cover art?

I suspect this is Ben Bova's Kinsman series

This amalgamation, then, is the life story of one Chet Kinsman, a heroic young military astronaut, and, among other things, the first man to make love in weightless conditions. He fights in orbit and kills a Russian cosmonaut, rescues an injured fellow-astronaut on the moon, and battles the Washington bureaucracy over establishing a base there.

    Thank you. It was indeed Kinsman. I had thought it was by Ben Bova but had little luck narrowing it down from all the books he has published.
