In the Foreword, writing fifty years ago, the author describes his vision of a new space age; he predicts that by 1985 the age of space piracy will begin and that a Space Navy will be established, speculating that some of his younger readers might participate: "I hope that none of you serve with the pirates .. The pay might not be so good in the Space Navy, but you'll live longer".… (more)

Typisch sf verhaal uit de jaren 60. Gedateerd verhaal, waarin eigenlijk weinig gebeurt.

Dit verhaal volgt Kevin, een nieuwsgierige jongen van Venus.

Tijdens een reis naar de maan om samen met zijn vader, die als een astronoom werkt bij het Observatorium te gaan wonen, leert Kevin over een mysterieuze personage alleen bekend als "de Basilisk", en een schijnbaar samenhangende reeks van gebeurtenissen waar ruimtepiraten passagiersschepen aanvielen die tussen de planeten reisden.

Het plot ontvouwt zich dan geleidelijk als de identiteit van de Basilisk is blootgelegd.


DE titel vandalen lijkt mij willekeurig gekozen, want het gaat hier namelijk om piraten.

Plot had hier en daar wat verder uitgewerkt mogen worden, en soms wat meer diepgang hebben. Nu blijft het allemaal vrij plat en voorspelbaar., waarbij wel opgemerkt moet worden dat dit verhaal uit de jaren '60 van de vorige eeuw stamt. ( )

complete text: https://archive.org/details/Vandals_of...

Fifteen-year-old Dick Murdoch leaves Venus to meet his father Paul on the Moon. On the voyage there, the captain stops to examine the wreckage of a sister spaceship. No one knows what attacked the ship—some say it's the Basilisk. Dick's adventures aboard spaceship and on the Moon start to pay off as he finds more and more clues.

Written for younger readers.
