Sixty years ago,\r\ninexcusable carelessness had deprived Earth of its first chance to\r\nobtain a true interstellar drive. Now, within a few hours, Earth, or\r\nmore specifically, the upper echelons of that great political\r\norganization called the Machine which had controlled the affairs of\r\nEarth for the past century and a half, should learn enough of the\r\nsecrets of the drive to insure that it would soon be in their\r\npossession.\nMenesee entered his box between those of Directors Cornelius and\r\nOjeda, immediately to the right of the Spokesman's Platform and with\r\nan excellent view of the prisoner. When Administrator Bradshaw and\r\nSpokesman Dorn had taken their places on the platform, Menesee seated\r\nhimself, drawing the transcript of the day's proceedings towards him.\r\nHowever, instead of glancing over it at once, he spent some seconds in\r\na study of the prisoner.\nThe fellow appeared to be still young. He was a magnificent physical\r\nspecimen, tall and strongly muscled, easily surpassing in this respect\r\nany of the hard-trained directors present. His face showed alert\r\nintelligence, giving no indication of the fact that for two of the\r\nthree days since his capture he had been drugged and subject to\r\nconstant hypnotic suggestion. He had given his name as Rainbolt,\r\nacknowledged freely that he was a member of the group of malcontent\r\ndeserters known in the records of the Machine as the Mars Convicts,\r\nbut described himself as being a \"missionary of Oneness\" whose purpose\r\nwas to bring the benefits of some of the principles of \"Oneness\" to\r\nEarth. He had refused to state whether he had any understanding of the\r\nstardrive by the use of which the Mars Convicts had made their mass\r\nescape from the penal settlements of the Fourth Planet sixty years\r\nbefore, though the drive obviously had been employed in bringing him\r\nout of the depths of interstellar space to the Solar System and Earth.\r\nAt the moment, while the significance of the bank of torture\r\ninstruments on his right could hardly have escaped him, his expression\r\nwas serious but not detectably concerned.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 30728 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Schmitz, James H. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Dec 21, 2009 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIllustrator\u003c\/b\u003e: Summers, Leo, 1925-1985 \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Schmitz, James H.,1911-1981 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43219490341021,"sku":"gb-30728-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/30728.jpg?v=1671527625","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/oneness-gb-30728","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
