The book you hold in your hands -- second in the Tom Corbett series by "Carey Rockwell" -- is something special. Oh, it was a work made for hire, and after it had its day, even the author (whoever he was in real life) forgot he'd done it. But believe it or not, this book is really pretty neat. It's the tale of three young space cadets of the Solar Guard: it starts with space maneuvers and a mock attack, and run through complications on places like Venus and Tara. Cool stuff! Read it now!

Carey Rockwell is a house name. There is some evidence evidence to who the real author was, though not conclusive: see
http://www.solarguard.com/tcgd2.htm#author for details.
At this point, I believe all but one of the Tom Corbett books are in public domain. Project Gutenberg has seven of them:
