#13 Rocky Jones, Space Ranger - The Pirates of Prah: Chapter III

Rocky and Winkie return to Casa 7 after escaping from the pirates of Prah. But the radio operator Ken, who arranges for the Orbit Jet to land, is in league with the pirates. He lets Rinkman, Dr. Vanko and Cleolanta know about their return. As Rocky and Winkie greet Vena Ray, Bobby and Paul, Rinkman quickly flies to Casa 7. Ken learns of the cold lamp and turns it on to hide the Orbit Jet in place. Then he and Rickman surprise Rocky and imprison him aboard the Orbit Jet with Haggar Nu, a Martian who also was on to Ken's disloyalty. Rickman's men force Winkie, Vena, Bobby and Paul to board their ship for a flight to Ophecius. Cleolanta is eager to get Rocky there, too, so has his friends taken as hostages. But Rocky knows the Orbit Jet well. He is able to hop to a place where he can slice his bonds off and free Haggar Nu. Rocky is able to overcome Rickman where he learns the rest of his friends are being held on Rickman's ship that is ready to launch. He has to stall a last minute lift-off of the pirate ship because Haggar Nu has put explosives in the rocket tubes. Rocky, with a few punches from a freed Winkie, is able to subdue the pirate team and heads to Earth with them in custody.
