First published in 1957, by Paul French (a Pen Name for Isaac Asimov). This is a Science Fiction action-adventure with Mystery Fiction elements targeted towards a juvenile audience. The fifth book of the series, Lucky Starr and Bigman figure out who has been stealing information from a secret lab in The Moons of Jupiter.Dr Conway, Chief of the Council of Science, orders Lucky and Bigman to investigate the information leaks from Jupiter, where Sol scientists are trying to figure out a new form of Artificial Gravity that they call Agravity. Dozens of investigations have failed, but they didn't have the best councilman, Lucky Starr, there. Lucky wants to use a V-frog to gain an insight into the minds of the suspects. Director Donahue (project leader on Jupiter IX) agrees with the request and they're on their way.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Not long after they arrive, Lucky and Bigman get a "welcoming party" fromand company in the form of Artificial Gravity lessons. Despite the lopsided odds, the two prevail and impress the majority of the crew about their sincerity and interest only in investigating the possible Sirian information leaks. They show off their V-frog to the crowd (pets are popular on Jupiter IX) and then go to their room. Their neighbor, the blind Mr. Norrich (and his seeing-eye dog, Mutt), invites them over and explains how he's already heard about the fight. He predicts that the news will be all over the moon by tomorrow.Back in their room, Lucky gets on the visiplate to arrange their next meeting with the project director while Bigman takes a shower. In those fifteen minutes, the V-frog is killed! At some point, the Sirian spy had seen them with their secret weapon and now they've gotten rid of Lucky's best investigative weapon. Not to worry, Lucky has already figured out a key clue about the spy; it's a robot! Unfortunately, that's the only lead he has now, and the next several days produce almost nothing useful, the Sirian robot is going to avoid detection!Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Billed Above the Title | |

Billed Above the Title: The 1974 New English Library cover credits Isaac Asimov above the title, using the same font size. The 1978 Fawcett Crest cover credits Isaac Asimov, writing as Creator/Paul French before listing the title. In this case, Dr Asimov's name is larger than the subtitle of and the Moons of Jupiter, but Lucky Starr is written much larger. The 1984 Del Rey cover plays around with the cover. At the top-right is their publisher's credit, then across the page is "Science Fiction Adventure". Below that is ISAAC ASIMOV writing as Paul French. Below that is the title, and below that and to the left is the tagline. All this in just the top half of the cover. | |

Abomination Accusation Attack: After Bigman has accused and failed to prove that Mr Norrich is the robot spy several times, Lucky takes a turn doing the same thing (to throw his actual suspect off the mark). | |
