Quorne invents a device to block such thoughts selectively from reaching the Earth, thereby reducing the population to imbeciles--with the Amazon and Abna also being affected. The ambitious scientist then embarks on the most audacious voyage ever to be undertaken by man when, at the surprising suggestion of his wife Viona--daughter of the Amazon--he travels to the very center of the universe in order to seize the secrets to all knowledge from the Central Intelligence itself!

This scientist has altered the nature of space itself, so that it no longer conducts light, forcing the slaves he's created to evolve without eyes, and to develop extrasensory perception. Not content with shaping the evolution of their bodies, the mastermind also contrives an apparatus that impresses on their minds the need to conquer and dominate, thus creating a menace to the universe that the Crusaders must try to eliminate.

World Out of Step

The Cosmic Crusaders find themselves on a truly strange world--a misfit planet that seems mysteriously cursed. Instead of evolving naturally from birth to death, it's a world out of step with the universe, leaping ahead into the future at unexpected moments. With each 50-year "step," much of the population dies, and the young replace them as middle-aged individuals. The Crusaders are suspicious that the adviser to the planet ruler is actually an alien from another world, and is causing the constant time dislocations for nefarious purposes. But when he traps the Golden Amazon and her three companions, sending their spaceship crashing onto a neighboring world dominated by huge, dinosaur-like creatures, the Crusaders appear to have met their match. Another stirring sci-fi adventure by a master storyteller!

Masters of science, they had overreached themselves by constructing a strange machine that could alter the very laws of nature.

Another epic space adventure of the Golden Amazon, John Russell Fearn's most famous and enduring character!
