the long version

"Originally published in 1966 and 1967, the stories from this volume showcase a young hero's introduction into the greatest super-hero team of the future, and his heroic sacrifice. Four new heroes are welcomed into the ranks of the Legion of Super-Heroes -- super-powered teens from the 30th century who come from all corners of the galaxy. But is one of them hiding his or her true intentions? After flushing out the traitor, the team, along with new recruit Ferro Lad, must face the villainous Fatal Five and the dread Sun Eater. Only Ferro Lad's willingness to sacrifice his own life can save his comrades and the entire galaxy in this heartbreaking epic"--P. [4] of jacket.
