Contra-terrene matter--seetee as the astronauts call it--is the most dangerous substance in the universe. Reversely charged, when brought into contact with even the most stable of normal material, it will instantly disintegrate with a 100% energy diffusion. So when Cap Kennedy’s scout vessel, Mordain, brushed against a cloud of seetee dust that was being gathered and moved by unknown ships, it was not only a narrow escape for Cap and his friends but signaled an emergency of the highest urgency. Because such a swarm could cause the destruction of an entire solar system--and ther was reason to suspect that its ultimate target was our sun and all its planets--including particularly the Earth.
