During a regular run for neutronium, Kron tells his guest a story about the death of one of his old friends - a death that is so unbelievable that it is considered just a story. And even if you expect that it will tie to Earth somehow, when the story splits into the double telling, it is nicely done. It is an adventure story at heart - but a bit unconventional.
Clement had made a career of writing stories about the different and the alien from the name of the non-humans. And this first story already shows this talent - it is a wonderful gem. ( )
