THEY HAVE RETURNED … AND THE DANGER WITH THEM.Seventeen-year-old Jeremy Grant is worried. His uncle, Dr Lachlan McKinnon is marooned on the wandering ‘lost planet’ of Hesikos and there’s been no word from the spaceship that has gone to rescue him. When at last a message arrives, the news is as bad as it could possibly be: the rescue mission has crash-landed on the planet!The only way to rescue Dr McKinnon and the other astronauts is to launch another atomic spacecraft that can reach Hesikos before food supplies run out. But first they have to find someone who can build one…The new ship’s crew are no experts in spaceflight, but, against the odds, they manage to reach the planet. In spite of his misadventures, Dr MacKinnon isn’t ready to go home yet. He is convinced that he has seen signs that Hesikos was once inhabited, and he believes there may still be life here. He convinces Jeremy and the other crew members to set off to explore the planet…In the adventures that follow, the explorers will face death more than once, will discover the answers to the mysterious signs of life on Hesikos, and will find that the future of the whole planet hangs in the balance…Return to the Lost Planet is the second in MacVicar’s series of six thrilling science fiction adventure tales about Hesikos, filled with trials and tribulations, wonder and calamity.Praise for Angus MacVicar: ‘Absorbing science fiction’ Kirkus Reviews Angus MacVicar was an accomplished Scottish author, screenwriter and playwright who published work in a variety of genres. Earlier in his career he was known for his crime thrillers and autobiography, but his early writing was interrupted by his service as a captain in the Royal Scots Fusiliers, which meant that most of his juvenile science fiction was not published until after World War II. It was then that his ‘Lost Planet’ series became extremely popular, with MacVicar himself adapting the stories as TV and radio serials.
