In the far distant future, when Earthmen have moved outward
in the universe, a mysterious Galactic master thief has appeared to confound
the world governments and police agencies. He has no name, but whispers
circulate on the planets and moons where human and alien species have settled,
of a man who appears suddenly, then disappears just as quickly – taking with
him some great object of value. Their hushed voices mumble an odd name, The
Forever Man! But who he is, and what he looks like, no one knows.
The Forever Man has dark hair and blue eyes and is part of a
huge clearance house for returned valuables stolen from rich worlds and their
leaders. He doesn’t steal from them. He steals from those who have stolen their
treasures. Then he acts as the ambassador, returning the valuable property –
for a fee! No man – or world – can hold him, for he was born a mutant on
a world that experienced a terrible catastrophe, giving him two brains. And the
mysterious ability to teleport near and far distances. The one drawback is
planet hopping. He is able to teleport short distances with no problem, but
when jumping from planet to planet, he often arrives naked, and suffering from
temporary amnesia.
The Consolidated Guard is a universal police force, with
offices on every allied world, they have full authority among all the species.
Within their organization are special espionage agents, known as Ghosts, who
move about the worlds among their people, watching for unrest and criminal
activity. They are well trained and highly efficient. They are also looking for
leads to The Forever Man, but have no knowledge of the organization he works
for. In “Planets In Peril”, The Forever Man recruits a member of Ghosts to join
the organization, named Paula Sinclair.
Paula Sinclair is a tall, slender woman, with dark hair and
brown eyes. She flashes creamy white thighs to distract men, but is a highly
trained and skilled agent of Ghosts!
