Bøger af Willy Ley

The Exploration of Mars, first published in 1956, is a detailed guidebook for mankind's first expedition to Mars. Authored by science writer Willy Ley and noted aerospace engineer Wernher Von Braun, it is based on the scientific and engineering capabilities available in 1956. Illustrated by space artist Chesley Bonestell, the book remains today a classic in the space engineering field. This facsimile reprint is an affordable alternative to the elusive hardcover edition. It is printed on 50lb white paper which can slightly warp on pages with heavy ink illustrations on both sides.

Tom Corbett, Roger Manning, and the big Venusian Astro have triumphed over the perils of interplanetary pirates, rogue reactors, and hostile environments. But when the Polaris is assigned to lead a "wagon train" of ships to colonize a distant world, the cadets find themselves in a dangerous situation that could finally signal the end of the "best unit" in the Academy. After Captain Strong abruptly departs under strange circumstances, Tom and his pals get entangled in a secret plot involving a belligerent scientist, a suspicious politician, and a planetary anomaly that crashes spaceships. And now the clock is ticking: the cadets can either solve this mystery fast ... or face some truly unpleasant consequences. (Book 4 in the Tom Corbet, Space Cadet series)
