Chapter I
The formula was a simple equation, but Caddo had to have it--for knowing its answer meant he would rule the universe. Oridin the Recluse listened to the threat wirelessed from the spaceship that was hoving to in a landing orbit about the planetoid Azair. "I've a bead on your atmosphere plant," said the snarling voice. "One false move and I'll blast it to star dust." Oridin shrugged as he heard the words.
