  Lucky Starr series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lucky Starr is the hero of a series of books by Isaac Asimov, using the pen name "Paul French".
Intended for juveniles, the books were written in the middle of the Cold War and the series shows traces of this, both in educational intent and in the nature of the social forces involved.
The series was written at the start of the cold war, when many concerned scientists, engineers and educators in the United States felt that their country, and what they considered to be the free world, was falling behind the communist bloc in scientific research and engineering developments.

Lucky sprang up from his chair and seized the older man’s hand and shook hands vigorously.

 Review of Lucky Starr and the Moons of Jupiter
It was the century’s most important advance in space travel…and an experiment so revolutionary that only the men who huddled beneath the surface of Jupiter Nine were permitted to know its full meaning.
For some reason, this may be my favorite of the Lucky Starr books.
Pirates of the Asteroids and Rings of Saturn come through moderately intact, but Moons of Jupiter has to be added to the list of casualties.
