Heroic Jon Drum defeats cloud creatures to free the Illkanov; he bests silicon creatures from Alphard; he escapes from a magnetic maelstrom; and he saves a miner on Zeta Virgo's fifth planet. He is about to be honored when reporter Harl Vincent claims he saw an android duplicate of Drum performing at least one of Drum's adventures. Drum refuses to defend himself and leaves, but is captured by the Klinn. But it's all a ruse so that Drum can penetrate the Dissimatter barrier protecting the Klinn home world, use the ancient weapon he found to defeat them, and rescue several captured scientists.
