Plot summary
editChris Godfrey is now deputy-director of UNEXA; he sends his former crew-mates to investigate unexplained perturbations in the orbit of Pluto. They discover that not only are their fuel tanks holed, but a super-dense wandering planet dubbed "Planet X" is on course to decimate the Solar System.
This was the last of Hugh Walters' 'exploration' novels as his realistic approach could not envisage travel further afield.
