WHEN TOM CORBETT and his two pals of the Polaris unit are assigned to monitor the three giant spaceships which are entered in the most famous race in all space history, an adventure begins which is bound to make your blood tingle. The race is to the spaceport of the planet Titan where rich crystal mines are located.
One of the boys is assigned to each spaceship and the race gets underway. The prize is the contract to haul the crystal from Titan to the other planets of the universe. As a result of treachery the best ship does not win, and the foul play by which her pilot wins, reveals a dastardly plot to seize the entire Titan mining operations which Tom and his unit mates thwart only at the last moment after several hairbreadth adventures. The plot is one of the most thrilling of the series, and the technical details, as usual, are supervised by Willy Ley. You will be glad to know that more Tom Corbett stories are to follow soon.
