The death of an independent asteroid miner would be no unusual news to the Martian colony. Asteroid mining was gambling, for high stakes, with your life in constant jeopardy.
But when Roger Hunter's mangled body was found in the exploded wreck of his ship, his two sons found reason to suspect murder. Their father appeared to have made a discovery which would affect the course of history.
Suddenly, certain space pirates found they had to cope with a ghost that belonged to the past, and a weapon that belonged in the future.

This book made me a reader,
By earl@issues-mag.com (North Rose NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scavengers in space
I think I read this book two dozen times in Elementary and then Middle School.It's a juvenile science fiction books that should still hold up today, which, along with two other Nourse books, The Trouble on Titan and Star Surgeon, is an excellent book for a young reader should still hold up well today, even though it was written long before we put a man into space! This book deals with sibling rivalry, inadequacies, self-doubts, fears and the concept of the little guy versus the big corporate monopoly. Set on Mars and in the Asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter it's a murder who done it as twin boys Tom and Greg Hunter try to find out why their father died in space and if it really was an accident or not. We look at the very possible future of mining in the asteroids, the realities of life in space set against an adventure narrative. Excellent for kids between 9 and 12.
