David Starr, Space Ranger

David Starr – an infant cradled in a tiny lifeboat launched by his parents when pirates atacked their Venus-bound starship.

The infant had grown into an athlete with the sharp clear brain of a first-class scientist. And now David Starr was an officer of the Council of Science.

His first mission: To find the enemies of Earth who were disrupting its food supply, the domed farms of Mars.
