LIFE EXPECTANCY: ZERO



The HOUR CLOCK is almost empty.

For Thora, the Sands of Time have all but run out.

Are down to the last grain.

Once Cosmic Agents John Marshall & Laury Marten risked their lives on the planet Tolimon
(PR 51 & 52) to secure some life-prolonging serum for the Arkonide who was to become

Dr. Villnoess had been appointed Chief Physician of the Terra ClinicтАЩs Haematological Department on
Venus despite his youthful 30 years and many of his colleagues were disgruntled. But Villnoess was one
of the 10 best haematologists in the Solar Imperium and he had already earned a reputation as a pioneer
