About this book

Before the Arcturus leaves for Mars, its chief pilot faces an awkward demand: keep passengers comfortable, meet a strict timetable and avoid hazardous meteor swarms. Steve Stevens joins the control room to check the calculations behind those demands. His doubts about the tracking stations turn a routine departure into a problem of measurement, navigation and judgment. E. E. Smith's 1931 science fiction novel imagines interplanetary travel as a working transport system, complete with instruments, crew checks and disagreements over responsibility.

The later action gives that technical detail a more urgent purpose. Stevens and Nadia face hostile spherical spacecraft, while a reflective shield and carefully directed projectiles determine whether their vessel can survive. Explanations of heat, power and protective materials sit alongside rapid combat scenes.
