Chapter I
From the depths of infinity came a menace so dreadful Clark Dane could not comprehend the danger. Yet his subconscious knew, crying out: Bring Back My Brain! It was a world without a past or future; a shining shadow-world borne of sheer madness, a thousand echoing eternities beyond all space and time. Now the pulsing radiance grew brighter--so bright it sent pain-tipped needles stabbing through Clark Dane's brain.
