Synopsis
"Foster, Lieutenant, R.I.P.," blared the voice horn and five minutes later Rip Foster was off into space on an assignment more exciting than any he had ever imagined. He could hardly believe his ears. Could a green young Planeteer, just through his training, possibly carry out orders like these? Sunny space, what a trick it would be!
There are a thousand dangers to be faced in high vacuum -- and all of this while carrying out an assignment that will take every reader's breath away.
