Space Action #2

A space-prospecting crew crash-lands on a hollow asteroid only to discover it's home to an intelligent, carnivorous plant civilization that views them as prey. As the crew struggles to repair their damaged ship and escape the ever-tightening grip of the alien vegetation, they must contend with deadly flora and the horrifying realization that the entire planet is one interconnected organism. Can they blast their way free before the plants consume them all?

When a mysterious planet materializes in Earth's solar system in 2170, Captain Brant Darnay leads an expedition to investigate—accompanied by Dr. Carvel's determined daughter Zoa, a skilled research chemist. But first contact with the planet's giant inhabitants, the Graeki, turns hostile: the invaders seize members of the expedition and use stolen Vornex technology to render themselves invisible, then pilot a ship back to Earth to launch a devastating conquest. Now Brant and Zoa must help Dr. Carvel and Earth's Defense Corps find a way to stop an invisible enemy laying waste to humanity's greatest cities.

Space pirate Jut Drago tracks Professor Lenox Poole's research expedition to the uncharted world of Baal, planning to steal whatever riches he can find—but the crew's discovery of a hidden undersea civilization with devastating magnetic powers turns their greed into a struggle for survival. As the Baalites reveal their intentions toward Earth, Drago and Poole must contend with an enemy far more dangerous than any outlaw or treasure hunter they've faced before.

A tense adventure of first contact gone wrong, where a lone spaceman faces overwhelming odds and the fate of Earth's pioneers hangs in the balance.
