Blurb: “It was gauged to the second, with scientific precision, this vanguard flight to Venus in the great space ship Omega. With the enchantment of complete reality, the author presents the crew, from Captain Chisholm to the junior technicians, and conducts the reader through the length of the great liner, describing its fabulous equipment.

The carefully timed arrival at the way station of the Moon is described, and then the departure for the long flight through the star-studded dark toward the orbit of Venus. But before reaching their goal, there were surprising adventures and discoveries for the voyagers en route. An interception was made by the Venutians which promised both treachery and ultimate disaster, a promise which almost became reality.

There are an accuracy and integrity about the writing of Jeffery Castle which distinguish his work from the freakish imaginings of lesser writers. And there is more than a touch of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells at their best in the verve and excitement with which he crowds the pages of this new book.”
