The Lost Science-Fantasy Novelette--Only eBook Edition! Doc Smith's only attempt to write heroic fantasy, but fueled by his usual hard science speculations on alternate time tracks! Time is the strangest of all mysteries. Relatively unimportant events, almost unnoticed as they occur, may, in hundreds of years, result in Ultimate Catastrophe. On Time Track Number One, that was the immutable result. But on Time Track Number Two there was one little event that could be used to avert it--the presence of a naked woman in public. So, Skandos One removed the clothing from the Lady Rhoann and after one look, Lord Tedric did the rest.
