3 - Sea Gold
 "Today's
pioneers find their frontiers in the tremendous achievements of modern
science. Rick Brant is no exception and his interest in electronics, as
readers of The Rocket's Shadow and The Lost City well know,
often leads Rick and his friend Scotty into adventures both amazing and
perilous.
This summer the boys decide to get jobs at the new sea
mine plant where minerals are being extracted from sea water. From the start
they encounter inexplicable opposition to their plan - opposition that seems
to have a peculiar element of personal malice. In spite of this they manage
to land jobs at the plant, but it soon becomes apparent that not only is the
sea mine being systematically sabotaged but that also the unknown enemies
are determined to liquidate Rick and Scotty themselves. Finally, after Rick
foils a murderous attempt on their lives, the boys are fired - for their own
good. But Rick and Scotty sense that the climax of the diabolical plot is
not far off and refuse to stay fired.
Sea Gold is a
trigger-paced story in which the mounting suspense culminates in a surprise
ending that will catch the reader off guard and gain a new host of friends
for this brand-new electronic series."
