At 16 and a quarter years old BILL MAGELLAN is feeling more like an adult than a youth and with that freedom should come the ability to sleep in on Saturdays, but that won't happen as long as Robert MacManus, the strangest little kid he's ever met, keeps bypassing the locks on his bedroom to wake him up because Robert needs someone older to book the Combat Flight Simulator for him.

So begins the sequel to the Young Space Oddity novel "DEATH IN SPACE - Or What I Did on My Summer Vacation".

And this time they go to Earth before almost dying!
