Land on Dara? One might as well commit suicide! Untouchable, like the Darans -- that's what they'd call Calhoun if he broke the quarantine. And they'd wipe him out on sight. But Dara needed him, and that was the kind of challenge this Interstellar Med Serviceman would never dodge.

Space Tug

Literature

5.0

Though originally geared toward the young adult market, Space Tug, the second novel in Murray Leinster's Joe Kenmore series, contains enough action and adventure to keep readers of any age engaged. The plot centers on the operation of a space station and is chock-full of the kind of technical details and suspenseful ordeals that fans of golden-era science fiction are sure to appreciate.
