And when he returned home, the only survivor of a freak accident that had flung his ship out of known space, he found that a century had passed - and though Larkspur the playwright was now famous, Larkspur the explorer was a wanted man. Buried in his memory was the fate of his ship; hidden on his person was the star-access data that would have been worth several fortunes - if it were not scrambled beyond repair. The repressive First Column government coveted that data and would not hesitate to strip Larkspur's mind in an attempt to decipher it. There was nothing a deceased playwright or a vanished explorer could do against the Column. And so Larkspur fled to the fringe worlds, hiding his identity, intent only on survival - until, on an obscure planet called Newcount Two, he discovered a powerful legacy he never knew he had . . .

Writing shortly before his death, he thanks him for sending an inscribed copy of his book 'Devil's Decade', which he enjoyed 'enormously'. 'It has the authentic touch about it, which is conspicuously missing from so many books today, and what is more, if I may say so, you have perfectly captures the "atmosphere" and tempo of those exciting days.' It must have been difficult for Brooks to write about 'R' - Harmsworth's brother Viscount Rothermere - in view of their 'close and warm friendship', but he has given 'the fairest and most life-like picture of that complex character that I have yet seen'. He deplores the time since they 'met and had a chat', and will ring soon to arrange lunch.
