Strange Angel

This is the biography of Jack Parsons who was a rocket scientist.

Simultaneously while doing that and being in this ragtag outfit offshoot of Caltech, inventing rocket fuel that got co-opted into being the first jet propellers to help World War II planes take off from short runways and aircraft carriers and stuff.

Anyways, he did that while simultaneously getting very involved in Thelema, which was like a black magic outfit worldwide.

And a major part of that was sex magic.

So he's this devotee of sex magic and explosives.
