"This blaster will knock the scales off any tyranno that you hit," he said, handing the weapon over to Tom who expertly broke it down and examined it.
As Tom checked the gun, the proprietor turned to the other cadets casually.
"Why would three cadets want to go into that section of the jungle belt?"
"We just told you," said Roger. "We're hunting tyranno."
"Uh, yes, of course." He turned away and pulled three heavy-duty paralo-ray pistols out of the cabinet. "Now these ray guns are the finest money can buy. Standard Solar Guard equipment...."
"Where did you get them?" demanded Roger sharply.
"Well, you know how it is, Cadet." The man laughed. "One way or another, we get a lot of gear. A man is discharged from the Solar Guard and he can keep his eq. . . Read More

This was perhaps the first science fiction book I read and I was hooked. After that I read more of the Tom Corbet series, Tom Swift series as well as Asimov, Heinlen, Clark, Norton, and many others.
Another exciting 1954 Science Fiction story for boys (this "girl" liked it too). Tom Corbett is a Space Cadet in the future. One book says it's the 24th century, I believe. Men have conquered space and there are colonies on every planet, the moon, and even on planets in distant galaxies. The Space A
This is a Tom Corbett novel of adventure. Written with a dated science perspective, I found it easy to ignore the science (there are no jungles full of dinosaurs on Venus). The adventure is suitable for young adult readers and the book emphasizes teamwork to overcome problems.

Also, the government that controls the planets will have a large military that mostly works to suppress efforts by the planets to be independent.
These books are kind of tedious but at least they are short.
I read this book as a child in the 1950’s
I ran across these books in a used book shop. I like the old sci-fi ideas about technology, and it is interesting to see how wrong or right the books are . I believe these were written for young boys or girls, and if you are looking for a book with depth and character development remember these are
A solid YA space opera. What young boy wouldn't love to read about hunting dinosaurs on Venus? But the emphasis is really on politics--politics that are a little heavy-handed--why is the space federation so hell-bent on suppressing secession? If the secessionist leader wasn't such a crazy jerk, ther
Another solid Space Opera.
The intrepid trio of Tom, Roger, and Astro, crew of The Polaris, are headed for a well-earned vacation on Venus to hunt tyrannosaurus in the jungle, but their plans go awry when they're taken prisoner by rebels. It's one of the best books in the series, as I recall, and very nicely illustrated.
