It's the next adventure of David Starr, now known as LUCKY STARR! This time he's thwarting PIRATES. Really competent and unusually well organised ones! You can tell how capable they are because the ever-clever Lucky is actually occasionally surprised by them.
The plot in this book is just as silly as the last one, and Lucky's reluctance to tell literally anyone else what's going on nearly bites him in the butt multiple times, but of course Lucky is too MACHO for any real teamwork. (I'm too community-minded for a book like this, I guess, but the rampant individualism on display here just seems like a laughably bad idea.)
But of course it all works out in the end because Lucky is just that good! And in the meantime the reader is treated to extended sequences of having space science explained in detail.
I continue to be entertained but unmoved by these books. On to the next!
