Assigned to secure a precious asteroid loaded with thorium, Lieutenant Rip Foster of the Space Corps must navigate treacherous space politics, sabotage, and enemy forces. With tensions running high between the Federation and the Consolidation, Rip must use his wits, courage, and leadership to safeguard the "gray planet" and prevent intergalactic catastrophe. Rip Foster Rides the Gray Planet is a fast-paced tale of loyalty, bravery, and the spirit of adventure.

About the Author

Harold Leland Goodwin (1914-1990) was an American author who was known for writing several popular non-fiction bools about science and space exploration. However, he is best known for writing under a couple pen names: John Blaine for the "Rick Brant" series (he co-wrote books 1-3 with Peter J. Harkins and went solo for books 4-24); and as Blake Savage for "RIP Foster Rides the Gray Planet." The latter book has the distinction of being published twice under different titles ("Assignment in Space with RIP Foster") and with a complete change out of the interior and cover art. ------ Thomas Hudson is also an American author (still alive) who decided that the two versions of the book—both of which he owns—ought to be printed with ALL the art available. This is that book. But, what of this man? Well, in his own mind, Mr. Hudson holds a PhD given him in honor of his dedication of the School of Hard Knocks�. In fact, his imaginary child was Student Of The Month in that same school more than 40 years ago. He takes everything in life seriously and can be seen nearly every day of the month in the disguise of an ancient Chinese man in Balboa Park in San Diego practicing Tai Chi. He moves ever so slowly, but he is like the wind. Under his own name and others he has written over 20 novels, 60 short stories/novellas, and is the editor for several other authors. He has been working on a stage play for 24 years and would have it finished except for his need to continue perfecting his tai chi.
