Seven Rithians had landed on Earth. Six had been disposed of. One was loose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurely, Spangler reasoned, the stereoptic fluoroscope would flush it out. \"That's one test the Rithian can't meet, no matter how good his human disguise may be.\" Spangler explained to Pembun, the strange, little Colonial who had been sent to help find the monster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut Pembun didn't agree. \"The trouble,\" he said, \"is that the Rithi have no bones.
