NO WAR TOMORROW
By Wallace West
Captain Frank Sage, a seasoned officer of the Space Patrol, steps into the cramped Moon Station Café with a heavy heart and a mission that could tip the balance between peace and annihilation. The routine of black coffee, ham and eggs, and apple pie masks his urgency: a refueled crate and a calibrated orbit are his only ticket out before a new crisis erupts. As he prepares to leave the lunar outpost, the weight of his responsibilities presses down, hinting at a larger conflict that could engulf every inhabitable world.
The tension stems from United Stars’ uneasy gamble with the “Big Shots” of Venus, a planet turned dumping ground for society’s most unruly elements. Beneath the glitter of Venusport, the Incor Underground gains strength, and the line between law‑enforcement and political maneuvering blurs. Sage must navigate personal entanglements, corporate intrigue, and the looming threat of a war that could destroy more than just one world.
