About the book: 1935 / “Honesty is the foundation.” This saying is familiar to everyone. Parents teach this to young children and it is actively promoted in every school and college. Among other things, this means that we should never lie. In addition, there are words such as “tact” and “prudence.” They mean what is appropriate, proper and wise. The question is, can you always tell the truth and at the same time be tactful and reasonable? This little story parallels the author's story called "The Man with the X-Ray Eyes" which we published over a year ago, and is just as intriguing and original, although the development of this story will amuse you. Edmond Hamilton is one of the oldest exponents of science fiction, and here he lives up to all the standards.
