Boys Own Starship 2 - Crash Landing
Eric Crichton and his brother John thought they knew all about
space: buy a beat-up old freighter, haul cargo from star to star,
and stay one step ahead of the bankers. Easy, right? But when a
shady charter lands them a mysterious medical package bound for a
newly terraformed world, things go from routine to red-alert in a
hurry.
A pirate ambush knocks Max Jones out of the sky, stranding the young
crew on a wild, storm-swept planet where the weather is only the
second most dangerous thing. The “plague” they were supposed to
deliver turns out to be a lie, the package hides something worth
killing for, and the pirates want it back, along with the kids who
carry it. With their sister Maryam fighting for her life in a stasis
pod, Eric must team up with a tough colony girl named Daisy, a
sharp-eyed heiress who won’t be left behind, and a handful of
hard-working settlers who know how to handle trouble.
They’ll need every trick they’ve got: quick thinking, faster hands,
and the kind of stubborn courage that turns a crashed ship into a
fighting chance. Outnumbered, outgunned, and running out of time,
the young crew of Max Jones learns the hard truth: in space, no
one’s going to come save you—you save yourself.
A fast-moving tale of high adventure, daring escapes, and the
unbreakable spirit of youth: straight from the Heinlein tradition of
boys (and girls!) who face the unknown and come out on top.
