'Space-Liner X-87' Summary
The X-87 space liner, a vessel in disarray, embarks on a perilous journey through the cosmos. At its helm is a Venusian renegade, navigating the starways with reckless abandon. On board, a Martian with swaggering confidence plots the ship's course, while deep within its alumite prison, Penelle, a highly skilled Shadow Squadman, languishes in chains, the fate of three worlds resting precariously in his manacled hands. As the X-87 hurtles through the vast expanse, Penelle unravels a sinister conspiracy that could plunge the galaxy into chaos. With his captors' true intentions revealed, he must summon all his cunning and determination to thwart their malevolent plans.Book Details
