Audio Books →Asteroid of Fear by Raymond Gallun

"All space was electrified as that harsh challenge rang out ... but John Endlich hesitated. For he saw beyond his own murder-saw the horror and destruction his death would unleash-and knew he dared not fight back!"
John Endlich needed to clean up his act. Gambling, drinking, a hot temper and wanderlust were the last things Rose and the kids needed.
So he went to the Homesteaders Office and signed up to terraform Vesta, a chunk of a once thriving alien planet that had exploded from within; a flat lump of crust which was now the remains of a farm on one side and a mining operation on the other.
The miners hated Endlich and sabotaged his plans at every opportunity. They were going to kill him and his family if he didn't find a way to stop them.
Asteroid of Fear was first published in the March, 1951 edition of Planet Stories magazine.
