Rocket from Infinity
When Pete Mason’s father is badly hurt in a space mining accident, eighteen-year-old Pete suspects that the injury was no accident — that it was caused by his family’s rivals, Rachel Barry and her children. Even so, when Pete receives an urgent call for help from Jane, Rachel’s oldest daughter, he risks his life to save her, only to find that Jane’s uncle has taken advantage of the opportunity to jump Pete’s new mining claim. Pete is furious; he refuses to listen to Jane’s story of a mysterious derelict rocket that appeared from nowhere to threaten her life.
But the two young people meet again, quite by accident, when they are both caught in the middle of a terrifying situation from which there seems to be no escape. The surprising explanation of the derelict rocketship, and the growing relationship between Pete and Jane, provides a fast-paced, thrilling climax to this beautifully written science fiction adventure.
The Man Without a Planet
He was PRTSAC: Permanent Resident Through a Special Act of Congress. A set of initials, a title unique in history. And a human being — the most homesick human being in history.
Fred Hunter was the permenent resident of the space station…the doughnut…because a hideous accident had rendered him physically incapable of returning to Earth. For ten years he sweated it out, while others came and went on tours of duty only a few months long. For ten years he stayed sane, while space gnawed at the minds of others.
Then came the invaders, the strange beings who seemed to be not men, not beasts, not machines. Fred Hunter knew he must face them alone…and what could one crippled man do against their might?
