  DESTINY WAS IN HIS HANDS!
  
  Security agent Cussick was an old hand at outwitting possible enemies of the
  twenty-first century government. But in the bespectacled young man named Jones
  he met his match.
  
  Because Jones could call Cussick's every move -- and call it in advance! For
  that matter Jones knew everything in advance -- except the nature of the
  cosmic visitors who drifted down from outer space.
  
  And yet it was around these aliens that Jones built up his drive to absolute
  power -- a drive which was universal in scope and which no one could stop.
  
  Because Jones knew all the answers a year ahead of time.
  
  That is, all the answers except one.
