The second Tom Corbett, Space Cadet adventure. ***** At Space Academy, cadet Tom Corbett and his pals Roger and Astro are at the top of their class. So whenever there’s an important — and possibly dangerous — mission to be handed out, the crew of the Polaris “sticks out like a hot rocket.” But this time the “Best Unit” in the Academy may be in over their heads. They’ve been placed under the command of Major “Blast-Off” Connel, a legendary spaceman who seems determined to cut the boys down to size. After their ship is refitted for hyperdrive, the crew of the Polaris heads into deep space for Alpha Centauri. Awaiting them are disciplinary demerits, planetary perils, a run-in with a pair of pirates, and enough trouble to last Roger Manning a lifetime!

Tom Corbett, Roger Manning, and the big Venusian Astro have triumphed over the perils of interplanetary pirates, rogue reactors, and hostile environments. But when the Polaris is assigned to lead a “wagon train” of ships to colonize a distant world, the cadets find themselves in a dangerous situation that could finally signal the end of the “best unit” in the Academy. After Captain Strong abruptly departs under strange circumstances, Tom and his pals get entangled in a secret plot involving a belligerent scientist, a suspicious politician, and a planetary anomaly that crashes spaceships. And now the clock is ticking: the cadets can either solve this mystery fast … or face some truly unpleasant consequences. (Book 4 in the Tom Corbet, Space Cadet series)

On term break from Space Academy, Tom Corbett and Roger Manning accompany their pal Astro to his native planet Venus for a well-deserved rest. There the cadets plan to hunt the biggest game in the star system, but their vacation is soon interrupted when the intrepid crew of the Polaris stumble across a secret plot to overthrow the Solar Alliance.Lost in the Venusian Jungle, unable to contact the Solar Guard, separated from their ship and each other, the hunters have now become the hunted: caught between the heavily armed forces of a would- be tyrant mad for power ... and the tyrannosaurus Astro wounded years earlier — thirty tons of terror mad for revenge. (Book 5 in the Tom Corbett series.)
- Treachery in Outer Space

Why has Roger Manning suddenly gone dark? Can his pal Tom Corbett really be dead? What caused the strange trouble on Titan—and how is it connected to a rocket race in outer space? These are but a few of the mysteries confounding Captain Steve Strong and the big Venusian engineer, Astro, as the Solar Guard races against time to save the mining colony on Saturn’s largest satellite. At stake are the lives of hundreds of men, women and children; the future of the intrepid Polaris crew; and quite possibly the fate of the entire star system.
