About This Book

A captain in the Interstellar Patrol recounts being sent with a squadron to intercept a cluster of dark, non-luminous bodies approaching the galaxy, a voyage that takes them past nebulae and out into intergalactic space. Instrumental study and close observation reveal that the intruders are not mere meteors, and the patrol soon clashes with hostile corsairs who attack beyond the galaxy, prompting daring maneuvers and intense shipboard combat. The tale blends brisk space-adventure plotting with themes of duty, crew camaraderie, and the perils of confronting unfamiliar, extra-galactic forces.
