The Secret Assassin

















    
	

















      
	
















	
	In the translucent depths of the
	sea off Tharv, a lone hunter was
	closing with his prey.

	
	All at once,
	the hunter
	found himself
	—the hunted !

	
	Knocked unconscious by
	a shock-projectile, the
	victim was connected
	to a grab . . .

	
	And lifted aboard a
	waiting sea-craft.

	
	Later, when he had recovered consciousness . . .

	
	See here,
	you—whoever
	you are !

	
	Who I am is of no importance to you !
	I apologise for interrupting your
	sport, but I have need of your
	very special services.

	
	Who do you want
	me to kill—
	and for how much ?

	
	The Emperor Trigo !
	For half a million
	thullars ! Cash
	in advance !
