JEFF BLAKE!
HOLLY O’TOOLE’S KNOTTED hand reached out and grasped the right hand of the passenger descending from the rocket transport. This is a hell of a night to come home, when a man’s been away as long as you have.

Holly O’Toole’s dark face grew concerned. At once Blake knew his trip would be interesting. Knew that the trouble he had been expecting was close at
