This exciting book introduces readers to Rick Brant, the son of a famous scientist, in the first of his amazing adventures in the new and exciting age that already is upon us –– the age of electronics.

     The Stoneridge Grant of two million dollars is no mean prize, and on Spindrift Island the group of scientists headed by Rick Brant's father work desperately to complete their moon rocket experiment in time. But someone in that closely knit group is a traitor –– unknown and unscrupulous –– who menaces the success of the experiment at every turn.

     As the time grows shorter, the unknown saboteur and his elusive accomplices strike with increasing boldness. Then Rick stumbles upon a clue which starts him on an investigation of his own. Tracking down this first tangible clue to the identity of the villains, Rick plunges into danger and is rescued in the nick of time by Scotty, a young ex-marine. The boys become fast friends and Scotty joins the spindrift Island group to help guard the moon rocket. From then on the boys share the risks; and there are plenty before Rick and Scotty finally manage to unmask the traitor and save the experiment.

     Adventure lovers who enjoy Rick Brant's thrilling exploits in this breath-taking story will want to continue his career in the other books in this new series of action-packed electronic adventures which will be running neck and neck with science's latest discoveries.
