Lair of the Cyclops

Rickard Braeth and friends must find the galaxy's secret—before it's used to destroy everything!

TERROR IN THE RUINS

At first Rikard thought that Droagn was suffering hallucinations. Then he saw giant lizards with eight legs moving among the rubble. Rikard found it hard to be frightened by them, though their intent was all too obvious. He was numbed by the Tathas effect, and kept slipping back into mental darkness...

"Kitah bley!" Droagn shouted. Rikard felt the dim edges of the psychic blast which Droagn projected against the creatures, but they weren't intelligent enough to be affected.

Rikard finally became aware that he was in danger. He drew his gun and closed the connection to the implants in his hand, arm and brain. But the effect of the time dilation thus produced was bizarre, dreamlike, nightmarish.

The monsters were closing. Rikard missed his shot. He was dumbfounded. He had never missed before when he was wired into his range finder. He fired again.

And missed...
