'Hugh! There's life here, look!' Jim Brannigan holds up a silver-furred creature found in a cavern, its small triangular face nothing less than beautiful, eyes soft and luminous as beryls.

Albert dePina and Henry Hasse's 1943 story is a colorful, exotic space-opera adventure. Vivid, atmospheric golden-age pulp. Read it for a rousing tale where explorers on a strange world discover a lovely, uncanny alien being, and are drawn toward the mystery of the Star of Panadur.
