THE HAND OF DR KAIFENG
By tampering with the genes of humanity to create a super-race - that was the ideal of many scientific Utopians.
By tampering with the genes of humanity to create a super-army - that was a dream of many military commanders.
By tampering with the genes of humanity to create a horde of obedient but brilliant monsters - that was the scheme of Dr. Kaifeng.
For Cap Kennedy, the abduction of a dozen leading geneticists spelled trouble for Earth. For their trails led not to some idealist, or to some would-be Napoleon, but pointed only at the one man in the galaxy who might prove to be more powerful than the legions of Terra themselves.
