They had been traveling through space for almost twenty years and still had nine years to go before they reached Centaurus. For many on board Earth had become a vague memory while for others it was a mere dot in the vast starry reaches of space. The people were getting restless and mutiny seemed inevitable. Alfred Elton van Vogt was the guy drinking beer in a bar with L. Ron Hubbard when Hubbard declared that writing science fiction for a penny a word was no way to get rich - the best way to get rich would be to start a new religion. And he did. And he got rich with that new religion - Dianetics - Scientology. Scientologists everywhere deny that Hubbard ever said any such thing of course. Book Club Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good-. Illus. by Peter Rauch;. 8vo. Doubleday and Company Hardcover
