Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Tolliver's Orbit" by H. B. Fyfe is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The book primarily centers around the character Johnny Tolliver, a space pilot working in the Jovian satellite colony of Ganymede, who finds himself entangled in a web of deceit and corruption within the Koslow Spaceways company. The story explores themes of duty, integrity, and survival in a futuristic setting, revealing the struggles of space travel and the complexities of human relationships. The narrative follows Johnny Tolliver as he navigates his work environment, which is fraught with corruption led by his manager, Jeffers. After encountering Betty Hanlon, who is actually the daughter of the company's president and is undercover to investigate corporate wrongdoing, Tolliver and Betty must work together to expose Jeffers’ illegal operations while avoiding the pitfalls of betrayal. Through clever antics and daring escapades, the duo finds themselves on a whirlwind adventure that leads to unexpected twists, exclusive revelations about their true identities, and the quest for justice in a morally ambiguous universe. Their collaboration cements a bond as they face dangers that not only threaten their lives but also the integrity of the space industry on Ganymede.
