THE QUIET THIRD OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY CAME TO AN END AT ten o’clock on the morning of May 17, 2034, with the return to earth of a modified Fafnir space cruiser under the command of Capt. Avery Swope. Perhaps in an earlier or a later day, the visitation which began on the above date might have had less effect.
