Аннотация

The scientists of Rykeman III were conceded by all the galactic members to be supreme in scientific achievement. Now the Rykes were going to share their vast knowledge with the scientists of Earth. To any question they would supply an answer— for a price. And Hockley, of all Earth’s scientists, was the stubborn one who wanted to weigh the answers with the costs...

The scientific investigator is not urged on by some brummagem idea of Service but a boundless almost pathological thirst to penetrate the unknown; much like a dog sniffing tremendously at an endless number of ratholes.
H. L. Mencken
Of the “real” universe we know nothing, except that there exist as many versions of it as there are perceptive minds.
