About this book

Air is draining from Earth's mining outpost on Mercury, and Darl Thomas has only minutes to find the breach. A vast dome protects the men and the Venusian workers below from the planet's hostile surface. While Jim Holcomb watches the pressure gauges, Darl takes a gyrocopter up toward the damaged shell. The opening turns a maintenance emergency into a test of nerve, with every movement made harder by the thinning air.

Arthur Leo Zagat builds this science fiction adventure around machinery, physical danger and quick decisions. The trouble extends beyond the dome's damaged wall: a Martian opponent wants a recognition signal, and Darl must find a way to call for help while held near the mine.
