Space Adventures #5

Commodore Rex Clive and Adjutant Speed Lansing are on the hunt for space smugglers operating in Saturn's rings in 2553 A.D., but soon discover the criminals are using the chaotic moonlets as a decoy while illicit operations run elsewhere. Posing as a freighter mate, Rex goes undercover on Titan to work with operative Stella Dawn and track the smuggled diamonds back to their source—the moon Japetus, which shines with an inexhaustible supply. When Rex and Stella are cornered by the smugglers on Japetus, they'll need to use every advantage the harsh lunar landscape offers to survive long enough for help to arrive.

When Rex Clive, the interplanetary detective, is sent to the hostile planet Zod undercover—disguised with false horns and a mask—to steal the Devil-Masters' secret war plans, he must navigate a treacherous underground realm where nothing is what it seems. As Rex infiltrates a high-level council meeting and uncovers a conspiracy far deeper than anyone on Dox anticipated, he discovers an unexpected ally in Tarra, a Zodian with her own reasons for betrayal. With guards closing in and time running out, Rex races to escape with the stolen blueprints before the Devil-Masters can launch their final, devastating assault.

When the *Futura* reaches the planet Jarga orbiting the blue star Sirius, explorers Rod Carter and Ben Damon discover a thriving city—but no inhabitants above ground. Their encounter with the aggressive Wojos and a mysterious woman named Alda reveals a desperate situation: the planet's true people have been driven underground for years, and the newcomers from Earth must act fast to help them reclaim their world. Armed with a crucial discovery about their enemy's nature, our heroes race against the clock to turn the tide before nightfall brings total destruction.
