Mike Torlin, private investigator is hired by Pete Donati to discover who is behind the strange happenings at his carnival ground. Then the first murder occurs.
A satisfying mystery and a quick read, a throwback to probably the 50's p.i. stories.

Tornavano da Venere, felici che tutto fosse andato bene. Erano talmente soddisfatti che riuscivano persino a sopportare la presenza del Controllore, quell'antipatico personaggio pieno di prosopopea il quale non perdeva occasione per ricordare a John Forrest, il Comandante della Stella Polaris, che lui avrebbe potuto assumere il comando se appena ne avesse visto la necessità. Poi, al momento di scambiare i primi messaggi con la Terra le cose cominciarono ad andare male. La Terra non rispondeva. E nemmeno la Luna, dove era situata la più grande base avanzata delle Forze Terrestri. E la base non esisteva più! L'enorme cupola che la racchiudeva era in pezzi, come tutte le attrezzature. Degli uomini di stanza sul satellite, un solo superstite, e per di più pazzo. Da lui il Comandante Forrest riesce soltanto a sapere che "i bambini" hanno distrutto la base militare. Risposta che solo un pazzo può dare. Certo qualcosa deve essere successo sulla Terra durante l'assenza della Stella Polaris, ma il difficile è scoprire che cosa. Quando finalmente l'astronave raggiunge il pianeta, John Forrest scopre che il pazzo aveva detto né più né meno che la verità. Il mondo è completamente controllato dai bambini. Ma non sono bambini comuni, e le loro piccole armi sono in grado di tener testa, e peggio, di rendere inutili le potenti armi di cui è dotata la Stella Polaris… (plus d'informations)

Dark Andromeda by AJ Merak (a pseudonym of John Glasby) is a 1954 classic space scifi adventure.

Earth and its 'Terran Forces' is threatened with attack from the superior forces of the Hundred Suns of Andromeda (of the Andromeda Galaxy). The only thing standing in their way is space spy Captain Blair who is dispatched to infiltrate and sew disunity within the Andromeda Galaxy.

The book starts midway through a conversation between the Chief Councillor and Captain Blair, if it weren't for the huge Chapter 1 just above this line I could have easily mistaken a part of the book missing. I just found it a really odd way to begin a book by just launching into things with zero backgrounding. From here you're on the back foot for awhile trying to establish what is going on and who everyone is.

I enjoy quite a bit of classic 50s scifi but this one just didn't do it for me, both the start and end seemed abrupt and I'm not at all surprised it was published by Panther Books who publish quite a bit of average material seeming to go for the throw everything against the wall and see what sticks approach rather than curating quality content.

I wouldn't recommend it.
