Exiles of Time

The demonic fury of the comet meant that the day of Ragnarok was at hand - the twilight of the gods! Grasping the ancient amulet, Lance Vidor suddenly felt a strange sensation of bottomlessness. The floor of the thousand-year-old Arabian crypt began to give way. The young archaeologist plunged headlong into the deep darkness. The stone emitted a wierd vibrance, and suddenly darts of pain flashed through him. Freezing air enveloped him, and a hideous wailing filled his ears. Something unseen snapped. A cosmos of flashing stars exploded within Lance's brain, and he was alone in a void that roared with mocking laughter! * Magazine publication: The Blue Book Magazine, May 1940 First book publication: Prime Press, 1949 Cover art by Jack Gaughan
