Russ turned the television controls. “Let's see about Venus and Mars."
The scenes in Ranthoor were duplicated in Sandebar on Mars, in New Chicago, the capital of Venus. Everywhere Stutsman had struck… everywhere the purge was wiping out in blood every person who might revolt against the Chambers-dictated governments. Throughout the Solar System violence was on the march, iron-shod boots trampling the rights of free men to tighten the grip of Interplanetary.
IN the control room of the Invincible the two men stared at one another.
"There's one man we need,” said Greg. “One man, if he's still alive, and I think he is."
"Who is that?” asked Russ.
"John Moore Mallory,” said Greg.
"Where is he?"
"I don't know. He was imprisoned in Ranthoor, but Stutsman transferred him some place else. Possibly to one of the prison fleet.” “If we had the records of the Callisto prison,” suggested Russ, “we could find out."
"If we had the records…"
"We'll get them!” Russ said.
