Description
Lester del Rey wrote this science fiction tale, first printed in Fantastic Universe in July 1954. Del Rey was then counted among the most gifted writers in the field, with work in many magazines. The tale asks how wide the field of Armageddon might be.
It opens aboard the hypercruiser Clarion, a ship that cuts across space without passing through it. Beyond her ports lies the utter blackness of nothing. The theme, as the magazine puts it, is the doom that can hide in an alien culture. Readers get a tense tale of survival from a writer known for clear prose and strong ideas.
