Subspace Explorers (Ace SF, H-102)

Imagine a future in which the creative energies of Western civilization have all been turned to space; to the exploration and development of dozens of new worlds, leaving behind on Earth only a fat, sluggish, decadent remnant of former greatness.

Imagine now a dictator's world: tough, disciplined, ruled by a single autocrat, The Nameless One of the East.

The only possible result is conflict, on Earth and in outer space. And in amongst the conflict, we read here the adventures of two mad capitalists, a hard-bitten spaceman with previously unknown psychic abilities and his wife, oil heiress and dowser. Wonderful Stuff!
