About This Book

A crewman accompanies an unpredictable but skilled pilot on a radium cargo run toward a Trans‑Space base and worries about the pilot's stunts. Three seemingly quiet passengers reveal themselves as armed hijackers, overpower the crewman, and plan to force the pilot to divert the ship to a deserted asteroid. The crewman attempts to warn the pilot but a sudden, violent maneuver subjects the ship to extreme acceleration and a power dive, hurling the bandits into incapacitation; the narrator sustains painful injuries while the craft careens toward Earth.
