Publisher's Synopsis
This, the fourth book in the "Tom Corbett" series by "Carey Rockwell," is, like all of the "Tom Corbett" books, something special. It's another tale of the three young men who serve in the Solar Guard as Space Cadets. The Solar Guard is establishing its first colony on a star far away in space, and of course, our heroes are in on the mission. But somehow a villain named Paul Vidac has wormed his way into the Cadets' assignment - replacing Capt. Strong as Lt. Governor. The man means nothing but evil, and if the cadets don't catch him at it, it'll be the end of them for certain... Carey Rockwell was the pseudonym used by Grosset & Dunlap. It's unknown who actually wrote the books attributed to Rockwell or even if the Tom Corbett book we're written by several authors. It is interesting to note, however, that while much of the content was original, a number of scenes and plot points were taken from the television series of the same name.
