Synopsis

The second Tom Corbett, Space Cadet adventure. ***** At Space Academy, cadet Tom Corbett and his pals Roger and Astro are at the top of their class. So whenever there’s an important — and possibly dangerous — mission to be handed out, the crew of the Polaris “sticks out like a hot rocket.” But this time the “Best Unit” in the Academy may be in over their heads. They’ve been placed under the command of Major “Blast-Off” Connel, a legendary spaceman who seems determined to cut the boys down to size. After their ship is refitted for hyperdrive, the crew of the Polaris heads into deep space for Alpha Centauri. Awaiting them are disciplinary demerits, planetary perils, a run-in with a pair of pirates, and enough trouble to last Roger Manning a lifetime!

Goodreads review by Tim

The second Tom Corbett Space Cadet tie-in novel (written under the psuedonym Carey Rockwell by an unknown author) sends Tom and his fellow cadets out of the solar system for the first time. Danger in Deep Space (1953) is another slam-bang Space Opera tale that drips with fun. Tom, Roger and Astro are......more

Goodreads review by Henri

A 1950s young adult science fiction story, Danger In Deep Space is the follow on from Stand By For Mars! featuring Tom Corbett, space cadet. It's a light space romp where we see two disgraced spacemen attempt to heist a satelitte consisting mainly of copper which is now extremely rare and sought afte......more
