#8 Rocky Jones, Space Ranger - Rocky's Odyssey: Chapter I

Flying through space, the Orbit Jet encounters foul weather - lightning and thunder. Rocky speculates that they have hit an atmosphere chain that must have formed between two bodies that were close to each other. Vena is tutoring Bobby on board the Orbit Jet. He does well with his mathematics, but is not receptive about reading the poetry she has assigned - The Odyssey. Rocky tells Bobby that Ulysses had great adventures. Shortly after that, an aircraft approaches them and releases a volley of shots. Rocky pulls the rocket back into space where they cannot go. Their radar detects a solid object and they spot a city. They watch the airplane land and approach to check it out. A powerful magnetic field takes over control of their vessel. Once on the ground, they are boarded by Bavaro, ruler of Posita, the moon on which they have landed. Bavaro wants them to carry a bomb to their arch enemies who live on the companion moon Negato. Their plane can't get past their defenses, but the Orbit Jet could. Rocky is unwilling to carry out his demands. Bavaro wants them to abandon their rocket. Their only hope for freedom lies in Bavaro's wife Cotanda who has taken a liking to Vena. As Cotanda leads Vena away for a tour, Rocky and Winkie hide on the ship. They overcome Bavaro's men, take their uniforms, and overcome Bavaro. Everyone meets back at the Orbit Jet to discuss how to escape from Posita.
