THEY OPENED THE PANDORA'S BOX
OF ATOMIC TRAVEL

When George Randolph first caught sight of Orena, he was astounded by
its gleaming perfection. Here were hills and valleys, lakes and streams,
glowing with the light of the most precious of metals. And, more
astonishing than that, it was a world of _miniature_ perfection--an
infinitely tiny universe within a golden atom!

But for Randolph it was also a world aglow with danger. Somewhere in its
tiny vastness were the friends he had to rescue. Captives of a madman,
they had been reduced to native Orena size; to return to Earth they
needed the growth capsules Randolph was bringing them. It was up to
Randolph to find them--and quickly--for the longer they stayed tiny, the
closer they came to passing BEYOND THE VANISHING POINT!
