520    "In the year 2100, mankind on Earth, settlers in a lunar 
       colony and aliens from the para-universe, a strange 
       universe parallel in time to our own, are faced with a 
       race against time to prevent total destruction of the 
       Earth. The invention of the Inter-Universe Electron Pump 
       has threatened the rate of hydrogen fusion in the sun, 
       leading, inevitably, to the possibilty of a vast explosion
       -- and the vapourisation of the Earth exactly eight 
       minutes later . . . Only a few know the terrifying truth--
       an outcast Earth scientist, a rebellious alien inhabitant 
       of a dying planet, a lunar-born human intuitionist who 
       senses the imminent annihilation of the Sun. They know the
       truth--but who will listen? They have foreseen the cost of
       abundant energy--but who will believe? These few beings, 
       human and alien, hold the key to the Earth's survival
