Bombs in Orbit

Officiall there was no war. Yet men were dying, planes were battling, and the struggle for the conquest of space was going on day and night on a life-or-death basis. For it was common—though unpublicized—knowledge that when one of the two great powers got into a position to strike a total blow without risk, the Cold War would be over. Now the Russian space lead had taken a fatal turn—they had three controlled H-Bomb Sputniks circling the Earth ready to drop when and where they wished. America could be wiped out in a matter of minutes, unless those BOMBS IN ORBIT could be disarmed. There was only one way to do that. Send men up in a satellite of our own to pull the Red fangs. The story of that attempt, one fo the most tensely exciting ari-space adventures of the very near future.
