WHEN TOM CORBETT and his two pals of the Polaris unit arc assigned to monitor the
three giant spaceships which are entered in the most famous race in all space history, an
adventure begins which is bound to make your blood tingle. The race is to the spaceport of
the planet Titan where rich crystal mines are located.
One of the boys is assigned to each spaceship and the race gets underway. The prize
is the contract to haul the crystal from Titan to the other planets of the universe. As a result of
treachery the best ship docs not win, and the foul play by which her pilot wins, reveals a
dastardly plot to seize the entire Titan mining operations which Tom and his unit mates
thwart only at the last moment after several hairbreadth adventures. The plot is one of the
most thrilling of the series, and the technical details, as usual, are supervised by Willy Ley.
You will be glad to know that more Tom Corbett stories are to follow soon.
