Space Platform is a young adult science fiction novel by American writer Murray Leinster. It was published in 1953 by Shasta Publishers in an edition of 5,000 copies. It is the first novel in the author's Joe Kenmore series. The next, Space Tug, picks up almost immediately where Space Platform leaves off. P. Schuyler Miller reported the novel was marked by "the fastest kind of action" and "the feeling of technical authenticity." (wikipedia.org)
