From out of the gloom in the dungeon where Chandar, Prince of Orin, awaited a tortured death, Sarkond the Enchanter shimmered into reality. His emerald eyes gleamed with an inhuman lustre as, with a soundless command, and without a touch, he mysteriously released the chains which bound Chandar. The prize Sarkond then offered Chandar was freedom, the price — the timeless struggle between two opposing forces ... a man who used the secret powers of the universe for his own schemes ... a man who vowed to stop him by his own strength and wits.

Interior text

Deep inside the huge spaceship, the Oligarch spoke to the three chosen starmen. "It would be dangerous to try to work secretly. If they were to discover us in the midst of planting the explosive, it would be fatal. We'll go down and ask the Earthmen their permission. You will learn their language and when we land, lull their natural suspicions. It will be your responsibility to see that we blow up the planet on schedule!

"I don't need to tell you that you can't fail."
