Description:
Ace Double with Hunting on Kunderer.
He was pieced together from
his own remains and returned
to Earth a hero-but was he human?

When the twisted and radioactive wreckage screamed
down out o~ space onto their dark planet, the Shogleet
were instantly intrigued. To that incredibly ancient race,
evolved to the point where energy, matter and form
held no more secrets, only curiosity remained. And
this wreck was curious. Metals and plastics, physical
and chemical combinations, they were familiar enough.
By probing and deduction they could reconstruct the
original form of it. But probing unearthed something
else. Something lived, but only just.
Using their combined talents they caught the delicate
fragment, studied it, reconstructed it. From the still
viable patterns of intelligence they deduced th.e whole,
and they remade a man. Going further, they discovered
his history and, from that, something of the history
of the whole species. They. were incredulous, unwilling
to admit that such a monstrosity could ever have existed.
And yet their own probings could not be argued.
So they remade his ship and sent it back whence it
had come-but appointed one of their number to go
along with the experiment and observe. And there, as a
certain noted young lady once had occasion to remark,
things got curiouser and curiouser
