Space Platform
by Murray Leinster
The space platform tells about man's first step into space ... about the difficulties and dangers of reaching the stars. It's also an exciting adventure. When young Joe Kenmore came to Bootstrap to install pilot gyroscopes on the platform, he wasn't negotiating for sabotage, murder, or love. However, Joe learns that ruthless agents are determined to destroy the project. He discovered that the beautiful girl he loved and men like The Chief, a solid Indian steelworker, and Mike, a dwarf who compensated for his greatness with his brain, would have to fight with his bare hands to fulfill a man's age-old dream of space travel! Long before long space travel became a reality, prolific science fiction writer Murray Leinster created a richly detailed scenario in which a project with a striking resemblance to the International Space Station was planned and executed. However, a few vile groups want the planned expedition to fail. Can unexpected hero Joe Kenmore save the project?
