First published in 1953, 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 second book of the series, Lucky Starr and Bigman solve the piracy crisis in the asteroid belt.After the previous book helped David in figuring out that there were pirates organizing in the asteroid belt, he proposes a plan for his uncles. They'd build an automated ship whose purpose is to map the asteroid belt. Add in triggered reactions and a booby-trap, so when the pirates try capturing it, they lose a base. Of course, this was all a trick to get Lucky an excuse for joining the pirates in the first place.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Captain Anton, the boss of the pirate ship who somehow knew about the booby-trap (but not Lucky's presence), seems to consider the idea. He doesn't trust the new guy, though, so he proposes a duel against Dingo, the most bloodthirsty member of his crew. If "Williams" can beat Dingo in a push-gun fight, he's willing to consider it.After winning, "Williams" is taken to a hermit's rock. Once there, the hermit does their best to convince "Williams" to give up his dream of becoming a pirate. Once the hermit recognizes Lawrence Starr's son, though, Lucky abandons the pretense and helps the hermit go to Ceres. A pirate attack and a couple of near-escapes later and we discover the true conflict in the story; Sirians are trying to organize the pirates to strike an economic blow against Earth to destabilize the solar economy.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Captain Anton has kidnapped the hermit and is en route to the other side of the solar system, to Jupiter. That's where a small fleet of Sirian military are awaiting the signal that Earth and the inner planets are undefended. The goal is a protracted war between Earth and Sirius, and Lucky must fly through The Sun and find the mastermind behind it all before it's too late! | |

2-D Space: After the pirate raid on Ceres, Captain Anton manages to avoid getting his ship photographed by the observatory by going up along the polar rather than along the elliptical. Most ships travel along the 2-d ecliptic plane of the solar system to maintain communication contact. With a twelve-hour head start in the chase, Captain Anton would be in the asteroid belt rather than risk a confrontation with the Terrestrial government before he had delivered his message. | |
