Subject Matter
Genres: science fiction
Character(s): Captain Johner; Rodg; Zarz (first appearance of all characters)
First Line: For hundreds of years, earthmen explored the stars, never once finding another inhabitant as intelligent as man!
Synopsis: For the first time, an Earth ship meets an alien ship, which attacks with missiles. The Earthmen would jump-drive for home, but the aliens could follow. To safeguard Earth's location, Captain Johner must destroy the enemy. The aliens are saucer-headed loop-limbed giants captained by Zarz, who also must protect his planet. A furious battle damages both ships. Then an Earth lifeboat puts out.... Via tele-translator, Captain Johner proposes half the Earth crew venture to the aliens' planet, and half the aliens go to Earth. "To establish contacts and trade. It looks like a good beginning!"
