"what luck? " asked the jovian in a rumbling whisper. "it's hopeless," kenniston answered heavily. "there isn't a small cruiser to be had at any price. the meteor-miners buy up all small ships here." "the devil! " muttered holk or, dismayed. "what are we going to do? go on to earth and get a cruiser there? " "we can't do that," kenniston answered.
