ROCKETS SLAMMED PAST
-just missing the tall, gaunt man who dodged down the stairs of the Earth Embassy. A figure loomed in a doorway and he snapped off a quick blaster shot at it-missed.
He'd killed one man, wounded others-and was carrying papers stolen from the secret Embassy files. They had to stop him-but they couldn't!
