Book description
Three times had the scientific genius, Kaifeng, slipped through the
hands of the men of FATE - and three times those equally fanatic
guardians of the fragile structure of interworld peace had tracked him
down again. But now Kaifeng had something that the Free Acting Terran
Envoys had never met before. He had a ship beyond all previous
capacities, he had a crew of dedicated devils, and he had FATE's finest
operative as his hostage. And when FATE pursued him beyond the very
Milky Way itself, beyond the Galactic Lens, things changed very rapidly
- for out there Kaifeng had the means to enforce a stop to human
progress - and he would not hesitate to use it! It's a
super-space-thriller in the Star Trek tradition! Edwin Charles Tubb
was born in London in 1919, and was a prolific author of SF, fantasy and
western novels, under his own name and a number of pseudonyms. He wrote
hundreds of short stories and novellas for the SF magazines of the 50's,
including the long-running Galaxy Science Fiction, and was a founding
member of the British Science Fiction Association. He died in 2010.
