by Murray Leinster

"Space Tug" by Murray Leinster is a young adult science fiction novel published in 1953. The second book in the Joe Kenmore series, it explores the challenges of operating a space station. Critics praised its fast-paced action and technical authenticity, though some noted it lacked the maturity of Leinster's adult fiction. The novel delivers excitement and adventure as it dramatizes the practical problems of managing humanity's foothold in orbit.
