About This Book

The story follows Sandra Drake as she persuades engineer John McBride and his crew to adapt an experimental gravitic and alphatronic drive to her ship so she can search for a companion overdue in the Sirius system. Technical problem-solving and rapid improvisation dominate the action as they reconfigure generators, safety relays, and compensators, balancing risk against urgency. The narrative emphasizes practical ingenuity, cooperative trust, and the hazards of high-speed astronomical reconnaissance as the team prepares a perilous voyage of rescue and exploration.
