'What's come between you and your wife, Van?' the doctor asks, and the geologist traces it back to the day the four of them cast their minds across space into the bodies of an alien race.

Homer Eon Flint's 1921 novel is an imaginative first-contact and psi-powers tale of minds projected to an alien world. Vivid, thoughtful, historically notable early SF. Read it for a pioneering story where explorers send their consciousness into a distant bee-like race, and become entangled in a struggle for its liberation.
