Disclaimer

There is more than one reason why the Crown finds this overimaginative work most

unacceptable.

First and foremost, of course, is that it purports to be about a planet called "Earth" and no

such planet exists under that name or its pretended astrographic designation of Blito-P3.

Admittedly, it has been cleverly created down to characters and locations. That is the precise

danger for the unsuspecting reader.

It is also claimed that "Earth" is on the Invasion Timetable and thus scheduled for capture.

The Timetable bequeathed by our ancestors has the status of Divine Command. It has unerringly

guided us for well over 125,000 years. Altering it in any way would disrupt every sector of our

Confederacy and pose the greatest of dangers. Yet even a cursory glance will show that there is NO

such planet on the Timetable. By making such a claim, by seeking to lend credence to this pretense

and by invoking the work of our ancestors, the author walks the thin line of heresy.

In like manner, the representations of cellology in this work border on the obscene. That any

member of this science would be used to make human freaks is in violation of every known

cellological ethical code.

Additionally, and as I have stated before, the sexual practices of this fallacious planet are

beyond the most ridiculous credibility. Such behavior would repulse even the disgusting subanimals

of Gartch.

The reader is also warned that the author has cleverly wrapped this frivolous deception in

what is otherwise quite familiar. For example, the so-called Atlantic City in this volume will be

recognized as nothing more than a paltry, scaled-down version of our own Joy City, not to mention

the play-planets. In short, this fanciful yarn has no real contact with agreed-upon fact and is

attempting to subvert and cast doubts upon everything from our ancestral Timetable to established

science.

That is the inherent danger in believing the most outlandish claim of all—that there is such

a planet as "Earth."

Once the reader sees through that fallacy and recognizes that THERE IS NO SUCH PLANET AS

"EARTH," this fable can be put into its proper perspective.

Preface

Hi there!

This is the Robotbrain in the Translatophone, otherwise known as 54 Charlee Nine.

My mandate is still to inform you that I translated this work from what was dictated by one

Soltan Gris, according to the bylaws of the Machine Purity League.

I also want to assure you that I am incapable of dreaming up the ideas or scenes depicted

herein. I never even heard of Blindstein, Bugs Bunny, the Marquis de Sade and the other

psychoscientists of Earth until I got this job. And I hope I never hear of them again. All they

give me is a fuseache. I don't know which one is worse: Blindstein, with his idea that nothing

travels faster than the speed of light; de Sade who said that pain is pleasure; or Bugs, who goes

down a rabbit hole and then asks "What's up, doc?"

If they are a cross-section of Earth, you can keep it, if you can find it. I've got enough to

do. I can be of service and provide a Key to this volume and verify the Chief Censor's remark that

Earth does not appear on the Invasion Timetable.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to handle a small mutiny in my logic circuits. Like

everyone else, they have trouble maintaining their sanity when dealing with Earth.

Sincerely,
