THE REVOLT ON VENUS



CHAPTER 1

"Emergency air lock open!"
The tall, broad-shouldered officer, wearing the magnificent black-and-gold uniform of
the Solar Guard, spoke into a small microphone and waited for an acknowledgment. It came
almost immediately.
"Cadet Corbett ready for testing," a voice crackled thinly over the loud-speaker.
"Very well. Proceed."
Seated in front of the scanner screen on the control deck of the rocket cruiser Polaris,
Captain Steve Strong replaced the microphone in its slot and watched a bulky figure in a
space suit step out of the air lock and drift away from the side of the ship. Behind him, five
boys, all dressed in the vivid blue uniforms of the Space Cadet Corps, strained forward to
watch the lone figure adjust the nozzles of the jet unit on the back of his space suit.
