From: Len Alanurm <decwrl!rhea!tonto!alanurm@SU-Shasta> I am hoping that someone (besides me) has read a story called "SENTINALS FROM SPACE". Author unknown. Plot is basically about some mutants (in the future) that have set themselves up as guardians of humanity. One of the things that they do is break into a castle on Mars to get some bad guys. Their mutant powers are quite awesome as I recall. It was many years ago that I read the story (20 +). If anyone knows name of author, etc, I'd love to know. Len Alanurm Tonto::Alanurm

I first read it in the 50's, and loved it (after all the golden age of science fiction is 12), and was pleased to see that it was as much fun when I reread it two years ago. Sorry, it's packed away, or I'd tell you the publisher. Bruce Cohen UUCP: ...!teklabs!tekecs!brucec CSNET: tekecs!brucec@tektronix ARPA: tekecs!brucec.tektronix@rand-relay
