Thora's Sacrifice

THE SHIP is a Death Ship. Thora Rhodan is dying. There is no more life-preserving serum left for her. The supply has been exhausted, that precious boon for which lives were once risked on Tolimon, location of the secret laboratory of the Galactic Physicians. The sentimental should not read this story. Nor those to whom tears come easily. Nor any of the many legions who love Thora only slightly less than Khrest, than Deringhouse, than...Rhodan. And yet—you must. As a disbelieving generation, long ago in the 6th decade of the 20th century, watched en masse on TV the death and funeral rites of a beloved president, JFK, you owe it to Perry, Darlton, Scheer, the Solar Imperium... yourself... to witness—THORA'S SACRIFICE
