Since you've moved the asteroid from its original
site, he can't find us now or show anyone else how to find us."
"He can't find us, but he knows how this asteroid works-almost as well
as I do. If the Starmen learn what he knows, it could be disastrous for
us in the unlikely chance that they ever locate us. I don't like taking
chances, and I don't like leaving any loose ends. St. George is a loose
end we can't afford."
"Do you know where to find him? He doesn't have any fixed place he
calls home."
"Our men have quietly inquired for him on Ceres and learned that he has
a good friend, another asteroid miner named Montezuma Vly. We know
where Vly lives, and Vly will know where St. George is. Vly doesn't
receive visitors, but his resistance won't keep a small fleet from
landing. One way or another, Vly will tell us where to find George St.
George-and soon."

A FEW DAYS later, Lurton Zimbardo decided to take a tour of the
workshops and check on progress. Where Troy Putnam's organization had

highly-organized, and ruthless. Its high degree of efficiency was
dependent almost exclusively on Zimbardo himself. Once Zimbardo had
asserted his control over the organization, the asteroid and its crew
had rapidly become an extension of his formidable personality.
