The Great Dome on Mercury

This is an adventurous story set on Mercury. In this thrilling novel, the author tells the story of Darl Thomas, an Earthman, who is trapped in the Great Dome on Mercury. Excerpt: «Frantic questions surged through the captured Earthman's mind. Who was his captor? From where, and how, had he come to Mercury? Jim, Angus McDermott, and himself were the only Terrestrians on the planet; of that he was certain. Only one or two of the reptile-skinned Venusian laborers had sufficient intelligence to manipulate a space suit, and they were unquestionably loyal.» Will Darl Thomas succeed in defending Earth's outpost against the bird-man of Mars?
