Review Summaries
"Francis Sandow is the only man who was born as long ago as the 20th century. His body is kept young by scientific methods and has allowed him to amass huge amounts of riches. But when he visits a Pei'an planet and is controlled by one of the Pei'an gods he unwittingly incites a pei'an who had coveted that god to seek revenge. The Pei'an calls Francis to one of the planets that Francis himself had created for a showdown of the two gods who controlled each body."
