What started out as an innocent campus prank at Space Academy almost
cost the Polaris unit the chance to become officers in the Solar Guard. For
punishment, Tom, Roger, and Astro were assigned to spend all their spare
time on guard duty in the vicinity of a new building which housed the latest
hush-hush project so important to the solar universe.
Here they were able to observe some suspicious events which looked to
them to be attempts to sabotage a plan to deliver cargo from freighter
spaceships to the various planets by means of projectiles shot from the
mother ships. Should the plan prove successful, it meant the doom of the
present methods of transportation in space.
The saboteurs were ruthless, and for a long time the Solar Guard played
into their hands. How the three cadets, through their courage and ingenuity,
were able to accomplish the downfall of the plotters makes thrilling and
exciting reading. Their gallant work not only saves the project but restores
their good standing in the Academy. Here is a rousing story which no red-
blooded boy will want to miss!
