THE JEWEL OF BAS
A WEIRD NOVEL OF FASCINATING POWER
by LEIGH BRACKETT
There was a boy-God, sleeping through
eternity. And there were his "Stone of
Life" and the androids he had created
of matter and energy. And there was a
world that was to die from the
machinations of the androids' diabolic
minds. There were Mouse and Ciaran to
stem the death-flood—two mortals fighting
the immortals' plans for conquest.

"You could have stolen a bigger joint. We'll go hungry before the next town."
"Uh huh," Ciaran grunted lazily.
Anger began to curl in Mouse's eyes.
