Kidnapped by the Charonian aliens, Earth is in their stellar system and caught in a conflict between the Charonians and another, even more potent and malevolent alien race and has very little power to defend itself. Meanwhile, back in the solar system, what is left of the human race is trying to learn how the home planet was carted off and what hope there is of getting it back. This plot makes for lots of action and ingenious puzzles and some more than respectable aliens. It's well up to Allen's normal high standard and a worthwhile addition to any collection strong in hard-science or action sf. <em>Roland Green</em></p> EDITORIAL REVIEW: Striving to retrieve a stolen planet Earth and restore it to its proper solar system, an unlikely band of human scientists, dictators, and professional troublemakers face two enemies in the powerful Charonians and the mysterious Adversary.
