X Marks the Asteroid
by Ross Rocklynne
The girl whipped open a drawer in the bottom of a boxy chair made of crystal glassteel. "And here's my pet!" She reached in to pull out a long-snouted neutron gun with a triple trigger. Unterzuyder's heart banged for the third time in an hour. In the drawer was one other object: Tertium Organum, A Key To The Enigmas Of The World. An old book. A musty book. The book from his beloved dead father's library. The book that held the Unterzuyder map.
