"What
the
hell's
going
on
here?"
asked
the
cocky
little
terrestial
who
was
skipper,
stepping
out
and
surveying
the
castaways.
"We've
been
looking
for
you
ever
since
your
directional
wave
failed.
But
come
on
in--come
on
in!"
He
led
the
way
to
his
stateroom,
while
the
ship's
surgeon
took
Gunga
in
charge.
Closing
the
door
carefully,
he
delved
into
the
bottom
of
his
locker
and
brought
out
a
flask.
"Can't
be
too
careful,"
he
remarked,
filling
a
small
tumbler
for
himself
and
another
for
his
guest.
"Always
apt
to
be
some
snooper
to
report
me.
But
say--you're
wanted
in
the
radio
room."
"Radio
room
nothing!
When
do
we
eat?"
"Right
away,
but
you'd
better
see
him.
Fellow
from
the
Interplanetary
News
Agency
wants
you
to
broadcast
a
copyrighted
story.
Good
for
about
three
years'
salary,
old
boy."
"All
right.
I'll
see
him"--with
a
happy
sigh--"just
as
soon
as
I
put
through
a
personal
message."

The
Lord
of
Space
By
Victor
Rousseau
[Sidenote:
A
Black
Caesar
had
arisen
on
Eros--and
all
Earth
trembled
at
his
distant
menace.]
"On
the
day
of
the
next
full
moon
every
living
thing
on
earth
will
be
wiped
out
of
existence--unless
you
succeed
in
your
mission,
Lee."
Nathaniel
Lee
looked
into
the
face
of
Silas
Stark,
President
of
the
United
States
of
the
World,
and
nodded
grimly.
"I'll
do
my
best,
Sir,"
he
answered.
"You
have
the
facts.
We
know
who
this
self-styled
Black
Caesar
is,
who
has
declared
war
upon
humanity.
He
is
a
Dane
named
Axelson,
whose
father,
condemned
to
life
imprisonment
for
resisting
the
new
world-order,
succeeded
in
obtaining
possession
of
an
interplanetary
liner.
