Moderate shelf handling wear. Diskan Fentress, mutant son of a space explorer, felt himself out of place on the luxury worlds of civilized space. It was not until he stole a spaceship and a travel key to the unexplored planet of Mimir that he first felt his latent powers to be some worth. For Mimir was a world of strange relics, of beasts that were not beast, and of a ruined city whose shadows spoke of a higher and weirder civilization than any the galaxy had yet discovered. And it was to fall to Diskan's lot to meet THE X FACTOR head on and to settle a planet's fate with his reaction.
