As director of the State Hospital for the Insane, the narrator examines a strange new patient, a man whose distorted brain holds the tale of another world, the planet Palos of the Dog Star pack.

J. U. Giesy's 1919 novel, a sequel to 'Palos of the Dog Star Pack,' is a rousing sword-and-planet space opera. Vivid, imaginative early SF. Read it for a classic planetary romance where a man's spirit journeys to a distant world, becoming the mouthpiece of a god amid the wars and wonders of Palos.
