Plot summaryTo the lunar domes previously photographed in Blast Off at Woomera and situated near Mons Pico has been added a cone emitting powerful neutron radiation which is causing havoc to the Earth's nuclear power stations. The diminutive Chris Godfrey has the job of piloting a British rocket to plant a homing beacon next to the cone to enable a strike by American rockets carrying Soviet nuclear warheads... ReceptionFloyd C. Gale of Galaxy Science Fiction rated the novel four stars out of five, stating that it "is as carefully and realistically detailed as its predecessor" and "will appeal to the young reader".[1]References1. ^{{Cite magazine |last=Gale |first=Floyd C. |date=December 1960 |title=Galaxy's 5 Star Shelf |url=https://archive.org/stream/Galaxy_v19n02_1960-12#page/n61/mode/1up |magazine=Galaxy Science Fiction |pages=123–127}} External links
