Space-Liner X-87

by Ray Cummings

On the starship X-87, a volatile crew of renegade Venusians and swaggering Martians navigate the vast expanse of space. Deep within the ship, Penelle, an elite Shadow Squadman, finds himself imprisoned, holding the precarious balance of three worlds in his fettered hands. As the X-87 hurtles through the cosmos, Penelle must confront the treacherous machinations of his captors and unravel a web of intrigue that threatens to ignite an interstellar conflict.
