About This Book

A decorated young officer is selected by world authorities to lead a perilous expedition to Saturn after spectrographic analysis indicates the planet holds tridium, a substance that might neutralize a Martian Photo-Atomic Ray. The story follows the hurried preparations, the voyage aboard an advanced carrier, and the crew's encounters with hostile, poorly understood Saturnian environments and cave-dwelling inhabitants as they search for the material whose recovery could determine Earth's survival.
