"Let's get some chow," growled Astro, who came hustling through the hatch. "I'm half starved. By the craters of Luna, how many times can you change course in five minutes?"

Astro referred to the countless times Tom had had[38] to call for fraction-degree course changes in their approach to the gaping entrance port.

Tom laughed. "With Connel on the bridge, you're lucky I didn't give you twice as many," he replied. "Can you imagine what would have happened if we had missed and hit the station?"

"Brrrrrr!" shuddered Roger. "I hate to think about it. Come on. Let's rustle up some grub for the Venusian. I could use some myself."

The three boys quickly changed to their dress blue cadet uniforms and left the ship. A moment later they were being whisked up an electric elevator to the main—or "street"—level. The door opened, and they stepped out into a large circular area ab. . . Read More

The second Tom Corbett Space Cadet tie-in novel (written under the psuedonym Carey Rockwell by an unknown author) sends Tom and his fellow cadets out of the solar system for the first time.

Danger in Deep Space (1953) is another slam-bang Space Opera tale that drips with fun. Tom, Roger and Astro are

4.5 good ending

I completed my collection of the series in 2021 and will work my way through them as side time permits. Boy adventures in space. Dicey science and pretty far fetched at that, but … 1950s syndicate pubs…

Nitpick: no way a crotchety old Major would be calling the cadets by their first names, but… targ

This was written before people had gone into space.
Venus and Mars are inhabitable , where Venus has swamps and dinosaurs.
And you'd be a space brained space rat if you traveled at full space speed in the space lanes.
And even though its set 400 years in the future, there are no women in space.

It’s ok. It’s not the best sci-fi pulp I e read but for a quick one day read not bad either.

A 1950s young adult science fiction story, Danger In Deep Space is the follow on from Stand By For Mars! featuring Tom Corbett, space cadet.

It's a light space romp where we see two disgraced spacemen attempt to heist a satelitte consisting mainly of copper which is now extremely rare and sought afte

The second Tom Corbett printed adventure finds Corbett and his fellow cadets (Roger Manning and Astro) getting a special assignment far outside the solar system. Danger In Deep Space takes Tom Corbett and the Polaris outside the solar system for the first time in an adventure which expands on one of

A space drama that is a classic in literature and by the style of Carey Rockwell there is the reason. A wonderful action packed tale of space and the dangers in it. I loved it. A must read by any and all readers world wide!

Really fun for an old sci fi story. The British accents for the voice actors was especially fun and they did a good job bringing the story to life.

The crew of the Polaris, fighting bad guys and some poorly-researched science (even for 1953), prove that teamwork and training and pluck will win out. Not quite as good as the first volume but I still liked it quite a lot.
