About This Book
Giant rockets that probe the borders of space provide authentic scientific background for this breath-taking Rick Brant adventure. When Rick, son of a famous scientist, and his pal Scotty go to work at a secret rocket base in Nevada, only two men at the base know their real mission: to track down the saboteur who calls himself 'The Earthman'.
