Descrição do livro
Fred Penelle, a Shadow Squadman in futuristic Great-New York, is sent aboard the Moon-bound X-87 to uncover what his superiors suspect is more than a routine corporate voyage. The Blake Irite Corporation sits at the center of a volatile interplanetary economy, controlling the irite and T-catalyst that power lunar industry and Earth's advanced technology, while unrest on Venus and Mars threatens to turn trade into war. When Georg Blake dies mysteriously, his son vanishes, and young Nina Blake suddenly inherits control, the flight begins to look like the opening move in a conspiracy that could shake three worlds. Disguised as a bookkeeping clerk, Penelle studies the passengers and crew, from a wealthy Martian and a polished radio operator to the sardonic Dr. Frye and the unsettling hunchbacked crewman Durk. His suspicion deepens when he discovers illegal eavesdropping, traces of sabotage, and Nina's fearful warnings about "eight men" and "five of the crew." Drawn to Nina's beauty and terror, he realizes the danger aboard the ship is hidden in plain sight. As the X-87 leaves Earth behind, Penelle is trapped in a sealed world of secrets, sabotage, and mounting dread, racing to expose the plot before the voyage turns deadly. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
