Tama of the Light Country Ray Cummings

Are all the artificial satellites circling the earth ours? How can we be sure that these little metal globes, these observational devices with their top-secret interiors, were all made on earth? Perhaps there is one up there that was not? When such a space satellite was located, it caused a furore. But that was nothing to what happened when it was accompanied by a mysterious rash of kidnappings-young girls were being taken away, carried off to some strange destiny in outer space! Tama of the Light Country is the startling novel of the conflict with Mercury-the smallest world of the solar system-which harbored an unsuspected secret.
