You should definetly check this book out if you haven't already, especially if you're into Sci-Fi. All the Lucky Starr books are wonderful. I've been hooked on them since I was ten. They are great for any age. Playful, well-written and in praise of science (which deserves all the attention it can get). A real feel-good-about-science-and-the-human-race/spirit-lifter. Not to mention the quaint substitutes for real swearing ("Sands of Mars!") Read them, I bet you'll be hooked, too.

NO ONE HAS REVIEWED THIS BOOK??? Fie on you SF snobbists! "Lucky Starr and the Pirates of the Asteroids" and "Have Spacesuit, Will Travel" are the best two SF novels of the last half of the 20th Century. Asimov and Heinlein. I must be missing something. Maybe Amazon accidentally erased the reviews. Even though the Lucky Starr series was published under the name of Paul French, they were Asimov stories thru and thru. He targeted the younger audience with these books but talent will out and I challenge anyone to say the Lucky Starr series isn't exciting and fun to read no matter what your age. In the first two books David Starr and Bigman Jones meet and embark on interplanetary adventures working for the Council of Science. Heck, don't waste time reading this review, get 'em and start reading.
