Worlds' finds Toller Maraquine
II
- grandson of the hero of 'The
Ragged Astronauts' and 'The
Wooden Spaceships' - bemoaning
the fact that life on the twin
planets of Land and Overland has
become dull and uneventful
compared to th stirring times in
which his illustrious forebear
lived. Then, while on a balloon
flight between the worlds, he
makes an astonishing discovery -
a rapidly growing crystal disc,
many miles across, is creating a
barrier between Land and
Overland. Precipitated for
personal reasons into
investigating the enigmatic
disc,
Toller - armed with only his
sword and boundless courage -
becomes a pivotal figure in
events which will decide the
future of entire planets and
their civilisations.
