Summary
The Empire of Earth was crumbling. Space-liners fell prey to savage phantom crews. A weird, green wave of terror engulfed the Universe. Enslavement of the Empire was near, and only a handful of men could halt the final blow ... a handful of men who could not act?for a single movement would mean their death.

With a sinking heart, he watched the crowd, who had come to see off the passengers, hurry out the port. This was his last chance to get off the ship.
