Space Platform by Murray Leinster ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

Space Platform by Murray Leinster audiobook. Genre: scifi In a near-future America where the next war could be atomic, a single engineering project has become more urgent than any weapon: an orbital Space Platform, a waystation for deeper exploration and a watchtower meant to keep global tensions from tipping into catastrophe. Young Joe Kenmore is no headline hero, just a capable, stubbornly responsible technician with a critical job: deliver and install the pilot gyros that will let the Platform fly true. But getting the equipment to the remote launch site at Bootstrap is only the beginning. From the moment Joe is en route, it is clear someone wants the project to fail, and they are willing to use sabotage, staged accidents, and even murder to stop humanity's first step into space. At Bootstrap, Joe is swept into a high-pressure world of improvised solutions, dangerous tests, and a tight-knit crew that includes hard-bitten workers and brilliant oddballs, all racing the clock. As Joe begins to fall for the commanding officer's sharp-minded daughter, he must also figure out who is undermining the Platform before one well-placed failure turns a dream of the stars into a national disaster.
