In "The Man Who Broke the Light-Speed Barrier!", Jan Holt’s mind is hurled across the cosmos after being accelerated to light speed, landing in the body of a dog-like alien on a distant world. Stranded and desperate to make contact, he tries to signal Earth’s explorers—only to be ignored, until a sudden geyser launches their ship into space, leaving them stranded. With no choice, Holt takes control of the vessel and brings it home, earning a hero’s welcome—only to flee toward a hospital, where his consciousness begins to re-anchor to his original body.
