Joe and his Crusher crew undertake two perilous assignments. In “The Ice Prison” they must correct the orbit of a detention facility built on a drifting ice asteroid before it crashes into the planet Kirius, where political prisoners threaten the autocratic regime. In “The Final Weapon: Ash” the Crushers are covertly hired by Bandor’s president to retrieve an officer transporting a planet‑wide annihilation bomb.
