Publisher’s Blurb – Dust Jacket Flaps
Maurice Gray, grown up since Mission to Mars, is now a young man of twenty and a fully qualified radar engineer at the Australian rocket range of Woomera.

Maurice is to become one of the small permanent colony which now inhabits Mars.

The journey to Mars is proceeding smoothly, until a small meteor tears through the outer shell of the rocket. Then, as the rocket draws nearer to Mars, a mysterious and terrifying message comes through on the radio. “There is danger. You cannot help us. Return to Earth...”

Will Maurice and his friends return to Earth? Or what will they discover if they eventually land on Mars? And is there anything to be feared from Miroff? The answers to these questions are included in this exciting adventure story in space, told against an authentic background of the author’s own scientific knowledge.
