Plot summary
Chris Godfrey is now deputy-director of UNEXA; he sends his former crew-mates to investigate unexplained perturbations in the orbit of Pluto. They discover that not only are their fuel tanks holed, but a super-dense wandering planet dubbed "Planet X" is on course to decimate the solar system.
This was the last of Hugh Walters' 'exploration' novels as his realistic approach could not envisage travel further afield.
gollark: This is the "missing the point" bit and it is inevitable until I finish scrolling down.
gollark: It's silly to blame people for "not doing anything" to attempt to change things when they cannot, in fact, actually do much, and you're missing the point linking lists of revolutions and such (besides, how many actually went *well*?).
gollark: Of course!
gollark: This is inaccurate. "You" as an individual cannot do anything but have to coordinate, and this is aææðæßðæßðæðæðæß hard.
gollark: Doesn't it vary quite a lot?
