Star Driver — Lee Correy

BY SKYHOOK TO THE STARS

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction -- that's Newton's Third Law, an ironclad rule of physics. But when pilot-astronomer Mike Call arrived at a top-secret New England lab, he found that a brilliant research team had seemingly repealed that basic law and produced a device with one-way thrust-in effect, the legendary "skyhook."

Here was the key to cheap, practical space travel, to a completely new era for Earth - if only Mike and the team could...

...keep the government off their backs

...counter a devious and ruthless campaign of blackmail and espionage

...and stop corporate power brokers from letting the whole project go down the tubes!
