On the Trail of the Space Pirates (Version 2 Dramatic Reading)

The Solar System trembles. Bull Coxine, the most ruthless criminal ever to menace the stars, has pulled off the impossible: escape from the Prison Asteroid. Now he's plotting something far worse than mere crime. With his sights set on becoming tyrannical overlord of every world in the solar system, the fate of humanity rests on three young cadets: Tom Corbett, Roger Manning, and Astro. Together with Captain Strong, they must hunt the space pirates across asteroid belts and through zero-g battles, before Coxine's three-step plan reaches its deadly conclusion. This is 1950s juvenile sci-fi at its finest, pulse-pounding adventure, unwavering friendship, and the eternal battle between good and evil played out against the glittering canvas of space. The Tom Corbett series helped define what it meant to dream of the stars, and this volume delivers every pulse-raising moment that made it legendary.
