Om boken

Don Harvey has been enjoying a brief stay at a ranch on Earth, when he receives an urgent message from his parents to return immediately to their home on Mars. As it turns out, war is brewing between forces on Earth and on Mars, which is brought home to him when his Mars-bound ship is boarded by forces from Earth, and Don ends up (along with an amiable dragon), changing to a ship bound for Venus. Don's adventures and misadventures eventually lead to his return to his home on Mars.
