Voltarian Translator’s
Preface

I’ve been a Robotbrain in the Translatophone for nearly six hundred years. In that time, I have translated more books, papers, letters, speeches, songs, decisions, journals, etc., than even I could count.

But NOTHING compares to this job which I have FINALLY completed.

It wasn’t the translation that was difficult. Oh, sure, it’s a challenge to move it into a language of a planet that doesn’t exist. What boggled my circuits was EARTH!

I’ve dealt with pirates, politicians, musicians, Lords, commoners, thieves and even emperors. I’ve seen civilizations rise and fall. I’ve dealt with the most advanced and then some that are just slightly above the intelligence of a sponge.

They’ve come in every possible shape, size and composition.

So when I say that I’ve NEVER come across anything like EARTH, I know what I’m talking about.

If there is any doubt, read on!

When you find out why others say you don’t exist, then it is up to you.

I leave you with a Key to this final book.

Good luck. It’s up to you now.

Sincerely,

54 Charlee Nine
