Contents THE STEEL-BLUES OUTSIDE SOLAR SYSTEM SOLARIANS AND EXTRATERESTRIALS EXAMINATION ROOM YELLOW LIQUID THE HEMLOCK SP SHIP THE STEEL-BLUES Jon Karyl was bolting in a new baffle plate on the stationary rocket engine. It was a tedious job and took all his concentration. So he wasn’t paying too much attention to what was going on in other parts of the little asteroid. He didn’t see the peculiar blue space ship, its rockets throttled down, as it drifted to land only a few hundred yards away from his plastic igloo. Nor did he see the half-dozen steel-blue creatures slide out of the peculiar vessel’s airlock. It was only as he crawled out of the depths of the rocket power plant that he realized something was wrong. By then it was almost too late. The six blue figures were only fifty feet away, approaching him at a lope. Jon Karyl took one look and went bounding over the asteroid’s rocky slopes in fifty-foot bounds.
