The wacky adventures of the Scientists and other denizens of the communication space station 'Venus Equilateral'. This is Golden Age mad science at it's best, with rather wonderful futuristic vacuum tube technologies. Written mostly in the 1940s these stories, are of their time, but transcend it, with some wonderful villains, and entertaining plots.

VENUS EQUILATERAL
It was the nerve center of the Solar System, the only interplanetary communication space station that could relay messages around the Sun and across the Galaxy. Manned by Dr. Don Channing and a crew of tough, dedicated men and women, Venus Equilateral was vital for all space emergencies.
But it was also vulnerable--
Making it ripe for
TROUBLE
...when an underground power coup surfaced on Venus;
DANGER
...when an efficiency expert's efficiency became deadly;
MADNESS
...when a matter duplicator doubled up too often;
AND LOTS MORE
...like space pirates, paranormal phenomena, and not lest, those villainous chaps who control Terran Electric!

"Probably the first writer--certainly the first technically qualified writer--to spell out the uses of space stations for space communications... George Smith, I am sure, correctly anticipates the future." [Arthur C. Clarke]
