Synopsis
(Published in the USA as ‘Vanguard’) A fearless spy team from Earth falls
into hostile hands when they secretly land in Luna Area 101 - Rosk territory.
Tyne and Murray escape with their lives, but the third man is dead and when
Tyne suspects that Murray is the guilty party he prepares to confront him, only
to discover that he has disappeared in a banned area. His search for Murray leads
him to a horrendous discovery - the Rosks are threatening imminent invasion of
Earth-and now only Tyne can prevent it.
