This book is the most political of the Lucky Starr stories. The Sirians, claiming that the moons of Saturn are empty, have colonized one of them. Naturally, this gets Earth upset, and Lucky is left to figure out what to do about it. The Sirians claim that any empty world can be colonized. So Lucky does something clever; he arranges to "colonize" one of the moons himself, with one of his Council of Science buddies, and when the Sirians raise a ruckus, he shows them to be the hypocrites they are; and the galactic UN votes to force the Sirians to retreat. Best Scene: When the Sirians capture Lucky's pet, Bigman, and the Sirian leader tells the robots to destroy Bigman, claiming Bigman isn't really a person, because he's so short. | |||||||||||||||||
