Captain Future's Challenge Edmond Hamilton

CAPTAIN FUTURE FACES FIERY SOLAR DEATH: It was ten o'clock, solar time, when disaster struck. At exactly the same moment, gravium mines on Mercury, Mars and Saturn were totally destroyed by an unidentified army. Without gravium--the life-blood of interplanetary civilization--the system would perish. Meanwhile, Captain Future struggled on the floor of a moving space craft, his arms and legs bound by steel ropes. He did not know why he'd been captured--only that the system was in grave danger--that he was needed... As Captain Future was plunged through space, towards a deadly orb of flaming gases--the raging inferno of the sun, he planned his daring escape. It was to be the most dangerous gamble of his life.
