Alvin hesitated a moment. None of his people had left the City for uncounted millions of years.

"Diaspar has everything," they said; ''why should we go outside into the desert?" But Alvin knew the fear that underlay the seeming free preference - the records he had studied hinted at the dark truth.

We are safe as long as long as we stay in Diaspar, the records said. If we leave . . . the Invaders will come again from the wastes between the worlds. And Man will not survive another such attack. . . .

Alvin knew the risk - but he knew, too, that if he did not take it, mankind was doomed to a lingering death - slower, but as sure as any the Invaders would bring.

Knowing that the fate of his race rested in his hands, he leaned forward and pressed the vehicle's starting button. . . .

". . . a novel of epic humanity . . . one of the most rewarding science fiction novels of the year."
- H.H. Holmes, New York Herald Tribune
