Synopsis: From the front flap of the Doubleday first edition: "Lancelot Biggs - "lean and lanky and gangling and awkward... with an oversized Adam's apple, ears like a loving cup's handles, and a grin like a Saint Bernard puppy" - was mate of the space-lugger Saturn.
Lancelot's motto for solving problems was: "First find the theory." In this rollicking, humorous adventure he theorizes the old space-freighter, its skipper Captain Hanson, lovely Diane Hanson, and himself into amazing predicament, all the way from Earth to Venus and beyond - in and out of a space-pirate's clutches and various similar catastrophes and triumphs, including turning the wallowing freighter into the fastest ship in space (and nearly destroying them all). The many more exploits of the remarkable Mister Biggs - amorous, martial, diplomatic, and mechanical - culminated in what seemed to be a complete fiasco, but out of which Biggs emerges as a man of heart as well as of brain."
