Interior text

The keeper of inter-galactic Way Station 18327 had one purpose: to prepare Earth to join the other races of the universe

The alien planets had many things that Earth lacked: eternal peace and prosperity, advanced knowledge of the sciences and arts. And they were willing to share their benefits — provided that Earth showed signs of being civilized.

As the only Earthman in touch with the universe, the keeper of Way Station 18327 was beginning to hope that his fellow men might prove worthy. Then his plans started to go wrong — beginning with a grave robbery and a kidnapping, and ending on the night when an ignorant, howling mob tried to penetrate the innermost secrets of the way station.
