Tom Corbett Space Cadet 4

This is the seminal novel of a young man's education as a member of an elite, paternalistic non-military organization of leaders dedicated to preserving human civilization, the Solar Patrol, a provocative parallel to Heinlein's famous later novel, Starship Troopers (which is about the military). Only the best and brightest--the strongest and the most courageous--ever manage to become Space Cadets, at the Space Academy. They are in training to be come part of the elite guard of the solar system, accepting missions others fear, taking risks no others dare, and upholding the peace of the solar system for the benefit of all. But before Matt Dodson can earn his rightful place in the ranks, his mettle is to be tested in the most severe and extraordinary ways--ways that change him forever, from the midwestern American boy into a man of the Solar Patrol. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

The classic space hero from the 1950's books and television show are back, with a new look but the same sense of high-spirited adventure. If you can dream it, you can do it. That's Tom's motto, sometimes, when he's not being lazy that is. Tom Corbett is a real space cadet, out to lunch and completely unswayed by the needs of his crew. Well, it's not really his crew, but he'll do whatever it takes to change that.
