Thig was shorter than the average Earthman—although on Ortha he wait for an Earthman or an Earthwoman to pass. His task now was to cruiser where his two fellows and himself would drain the creature's all only three had proven worthy of consideration. This latest planet, however, 72-P-3 on the chart, appeared to be an ideal world in every time. The mighty muscles of the Orthan sent him hurtling across the intervening space in two prodigious bounds, and his hands clamped across the mouth and neck of the stranger.... Lewis Terry was going fishing. For a week the typewriter mill that had desolation of the Northwoods had been silent. Lewis wondered if he was going stale. He had sat every day for eight hours in front of that shiny-buttoned bane of the typist, but there were no results. Feebly he had punched a key two days ago and a $ sign had appeared. He hadn't dared touch the machine since. For Mr. Terry, that hard-hitting writer of two-gun action, had never been further west of Long Island than Elizabeth, and he had promised his wife, Ellen, that he would take the three children and herself on a trailer tour of the West that very summer. Since that promise, he could not write a word. Visions of whooping red-skinned Apaches and be-chapped outlaws raiding his little trailer home kept rolling up out of his subconscious. Yet he had to write at least three novelets and a fistful of short stories in the next two weeks to finance the great adventure—or the trip was off. So Lewis left the weathered old cottage in the early dawn and headed road. "What's the trouble?"

Twice, with subtle drugs they restored pseudo-life to his body and kept the electrical impulses throbbing from his tortured "There is nothing more to learn," he informed his impassive comrades. "Now, let us get on with the plastic surgery that is required. My new body must return to its barbaric household before undue attention is aroused. And when I return I will take along some of the gleaming baubles we found on the red planet—these people value them highly." An hour later, his scars and altered cartilage already healed and and set out along the moonlit beach toward the nearest path running inland to his home. where Jake and Ted had helped him dig for the buried treasure that "Lew, dear," Ellen was asking, "where have you been all day? I called Saddlebag Publications sent a check for $50 for "Reversed Revolvers" and three other editors asked for shorts soon." "Shoulda got a hundred bucks for that yarn," grunted Thig, and gasped. For the moment he had been Lewis Terry and not Thig! So thoroughly had he acquired the knowledge of Terry that he found himself unconsciously adopting the thinking and mannerism of the other. All the better this way, he realized—more natural. "Sorry I was late," he said, digging into his pocket for the He flashed the jewels in front of Ellen's startled eyes and she clung, "Uh huh," agreed the pseudo Lewis, memories of the ferocious savages "I saved some kraut and weiners," Ellen said.

Strange thoughts were afloat in the chaos of his cool Orthan brain. Tonight or tomorrow night at the latest he must contact his two fellows Hordes? Thig tried to tell himself that it was the transmitted thoughts of the dead Earthman that made him feel so, but he was not too sure. For three months he had lived with people who loved, hated, wept and sacrificed would one new world—or a hundred—populated by the Hordes add to the progress of humanity?

"We now have located three worlds fit for colonization and so we will return to Ortha at once. "I will recommend the conquest of this planet, 72-P-3 at once and the complete destruction of all biped life upon it. The mental aberrations of the barbaric natives might lead to endless complications if they three circuits of the planet about its primary should prove sufficient for the purposes of complete liquidation." "But why," asked Thig slowly, "could we not disarm all the natives and "Let us get back to Ortha at once, then," gritted out Thig savagely. "Never again do I wish to set foot upon the soil of this mad planet. There are forces at work upon Earth that we of Ortha have long Thig followed Kam into the tiny laboratory and found a seat beside the weapon tilted upward until it reached the level of Thig's waist.
