The twenty-nine of us were E.T.I. Team 17, whose assignment was the asteroids. We were four years and three months out of Terra, and we'd reached Vesta right on schedule. Ten minutes after landing, we had known that the clod was part of the crust of Planet X -- or Sorn, to give it its right name -- one of the few such parts that hadn't been blown clean out of the Solar System. That made Vesta extra-special. It meant settling down for a while. It meant a careful, months-long scrutiny of Vesta's every square inch and a lot of her cubic ones, especially by the life-scientists. Fossils, artifacts, animate life . . . a surface chunk of Sorn might harbor any of these, or all. Some we'd tackled already had a few. My hair did not stand on end, regardless of what you've heard me quoted as saying.

Originally published in Galaxy Science Fiction, December 1953. "Robert Sheckley: the best short-story writer the field has produced." — Alan Dean Foster "I had no idea the competition was so terrifyingly good." — Douglas Adams "Sheckley at his best is Voltaire and Soda." — Brian W. Aldiss "Probably the best short-story writer during the 50s to the mid-1960s working in any field." — Neil Gaiman "Always he crackles with ideas." — Kingsley Amis "[Robert Sheckley is] witty and ingenious... a draught of pure Voltaire and tonic." — J. G. Ballard "If the Marx Brothers had been literary rather than thespic fantasists ... they would have been Robert Sheckley." — Harlan Ellison "Journey of Joenes is a mid-20th century version of Voltaire’s Candide." — James Lovelock Something had gone wrong when they\'d loaded the ship, and the rations hadn\'t quite lasted long enough to make the outbound end of the uranium prospecting trip. Then they found an abandoned world, and landed the ship on an old warehouse facility . . . desperately searching for something to eat. Not an easy thing to do, going through an alien warehouse when they could barely read the manuals, without as much of an inkling as to the nature of the local biology. They would have eaten a horse, if there\'d been one. But there wasn\'t. And that was probably for the best -- it might have eaten them first!

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.
