Wollheim Secret of the Ninth Planet (back)

SOMEONE-

OK SOMETHING WAS STEALING

THE SUN! ^

At first the theft was imperceptible-soon daylight seemed strangety dim, it was unsea-sonably cold. Then the growing darkness and increasing frost posed a real threat to the sur-vival of Earth! The world was alarmed and the hunt was on.

The solar system had to be searched. And because Burt Denning was close to the scene of the first disturbance, he was picked to go on the Magellan, the most incredible spaceship in the world. On planet after planet, Burl dis-covered Sun-Tap stations, strange machines that were draining the sun’s energies away from Earth. The monstrous mechanisms had to be stopped before the world froze to death!
