Behind him through the low window, I saw the white ground now far below us; we were rising swiftly. "So you brought my Lady Elza back to me, Jac Hallen?" He got no further, for with a leap I was upon him.
There was something up there in the sky! The Zed-ray met resistance; we could see the sparks, and hear the snap of them coming like a roar from the microphone above the drumming.

Danger! Jac!" I waited no longer, but rushed to Georg and Maida beautiful Maida in her robe of sleep with her white hair tumbling about her.
And between them our white races in turmoil. Outside my own window I could hear the shouts of the crowd that jammed the Twentieth Level. Greys leaned toward me. "Seven o'clock, Jac.
