Items related to The Jupiter Theft
The Lunar Observatory on earth is picking up a very strange and unidentifiable signal from the direction of Cygnus. When the meaning of this signal is finally understood, it clearly spells disaster for earth. An immense object is rushing towards the Solar System, travelling nearly at the speed of light, its intense nuclear radiation is sure to kill all life on earth within months. As it moves close the humans can discern that it is an enormous convoy of some sort, nearly as large as a planet. And there is nothing anyone can do to divert such an enormous alien object. Then, unexpectedly, the object changes course and heads toward the dead planet of Jupiter but what could an enormous alien convoy want with such a useless planet?

Book Description Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condition: Good: Moderate signs of wear. Cover Art: Uncredited (illustrator). 1979 Edition. © 1977 & 1979: A stand-alone novel by Donald Moffitt. 1st printing of 1979 edition:- Synopsis: Runaway World. Within hours after the Lunar observatory picked up a strange new X-ray source in Cygnus, the disastrous picture was clear. An immense object was hurtling towards the Solar system at nearly the speed of light. And its intense radiation would surely wipe out all life on Earth within six months. There was nothing anyone could do. Then, incredibly, the rogue presence that had appeared out of nowhere suddenly changed its trajectory - and stopped in the region of Jupiter. But that was flatly impossible:- Review(s): "With the world-juggling sweep of Larry Niven and the scientific expertise of Arthur C Clarke, 'The Jupiter Theft' marks the arrival on the science fiction scene of a blazing new talent":- (original cost £1.25).
