Treachery in Outer Space


Book Description

CHAPTER 1 "All right, you blasted Earthworms! Stand to!" Three frightened cadet candidates for Space Academy stiffened their backs and stood at rigid attention as Astro faced them, a furious scowl on his rugged features. Behind him, Tom Corbett and Roger Manning lounged on the dormitory bunks, watching their unit mate blast the freshman cadets and trying to keep from laughing. It wasn't long ago that they had gone through the terrifying experience of being hazed by stern upperclassmen and they knew how the three pink-cheeked boys in front of them felt. "So," bawled Astro, "you want to blast off, do you?" Neither of the three boys answered. "Speak when you're spoken to, Mister!" snapped Roger at the boy in the middle. "Answer the question!" barked Tom, finding it difficult to maintain his role of stern disciplinarian. "Y-y-yes, sir," finally came a mumbled reply. "What's your name? And don't say 'sir' to me!" roared Astro. "Coglin, sir," gulped the boy. "Don't say 'SIR'!" "Yes, sir—er—I mean, O.K.," stuttered Coglin. "And don't say O.K., either," Roger chimed in.

Space Cadet


Book Description

This is the seminal novel of a young man's education as a member of an elite, paternalistic non-military organization of leaders dedicated to preserving human civilization, the Solar Patrol, a provocative parallel to Heinlein's famous later novel, Starship Troopers (which is about the military). Only the best and brightest--the strongest and the most courageous--ever manage to become Space Cadets, at the Space Academy. They are in training to be come part of the elite guard of the solar system, accepting missions others fear, taking risks no others dare, and upholding the peace of the solar system for the benefit of all. But before Matt Dodson can earn his rightful place in the ranks, his mettle is to be tested in the most severe and extraordinary ways--ways that change him forever, from the midwestern American boy into a man of the Solar Patrol.
