Secret Agent Jack Stalwart, Book 9:
The Deadly Race to Space

After decades of preparation, a team of Americans and Russians are sending six astronauts to the red planet, and Jack Stalwart's father is the designer of the world-famous Mars-bound spacecraft. A voyage into outer space has always been a fantasy of this well-traveled secret agent-unfortunately, there's still much work to be done on Earth. As the launch grows near, the Global Protection Force dispatches Jack to Mission Control in Russia to ensure the launch goes off uninterrupted. Already an expert at thwarting danger, Jack is more afraid that his father will discover his top-secret role as a GPF agent. And when Jack is informed of a chief aerospace engineer's disappearance, he becomes even more terrified of never finding him. That abducted engineer is Jack's father. With a brother already missing, Jack vows that anyone who hurts a member of the Stalwart family will live to regret it. And when the target has a codename like "Courage," it's a bad day to be a kidnapper.
