SCAVENGERS IN SPACE
by ALAN E. NOURSE
Version 1.0

From back cover:
"This fast-moving tale of the far future deals with the quest of the Hunter brothers for a
mysterious bonanza located somewhere in the asteroid belt. The dangers and details of
asteroid mining are carefully outlined, and the bonanza itself proves to be an open gate to
wider future in the stars.
"Realistic background, good plotting and vivid writing add up to a good adventure."

From the inside:
"ORIGINAL AND HIGHLY IMAGINATIVE."
-Best Sellers
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 jeopardy.
But when Roger Hunter's mangled body was found in the exploded wreck of his scout
ship, his two sons found reason to suspect murder, and the possibility of a discovery that
could alter space history.
And certain space pirates soon found they had to cope with a ghost that belonged in the
past-and a weapon that belonged in the future.



ALAN E. NOURSE is a young doctor who is successfully combining his vocation,
medicine, with his avocation, writing. He is generally recognized as one of the outstanding
writers of science-fiction today, and his sound medical background stands him in good
stead for the many technical and scientific details which lend authenticity to his stories.
Dr. Nourse lives in North Bend, Washington, with his wife and young son and daughter.
Ace Books have also published his novels: A MAN OBSESSED (D-96), THE
INVADERS ARE COMING (D-366), and ROCKET TO LIMBO (D-385).
