Consternation and panic grip the world as a strange
asteroid-sized object shoots earthward. Millions are relieved when the weird,
glowing space phantom inexplicably goes into orbit about our world. Tom Swift,
who has invented a machine which will establish a breathable atmosphere on the
stark, airless moonlet, is asked to explore the interloper from space and to
claim it for the United States. The epic voyage is accomplished in a gigantic
atomic-powered spaceship, the Titan.
Landing on the satellite Tom's friend Bud has nicknamed Little Luna, the
Enterprises explorers must contend with a rival team of astronauts determined
to steal the prize for their own country. How Tom protects the American claim,
and uncovers an even greater prize of fantastic power, will keep the reader
spellbound to the last page.
