About This Book

A small expedition aboard the spaceship Magellan races through the solar system to investigate a mysterious dimming of the Sun. Traveling from inner worlds to Pluto, the crew discovers devices and hidden installations siphoning sunlight, faces planetary hazards and alien strongholds, and follows clues that point to a lost or concealed ninth world. Episodes on Mercury, Venus, Mars, the outer moons, and Pluto present scientific puzzles and moral choices, including necessary sacrifices, while the narrative emphasizes resourcefulness, teamwork, and the practical challenges of interplanetary travel, concluding with the uncovering of the perpetrators and the restoration of solar light.
