Plot summary
Five people from different nations are taken to a spacecraft in Earth orbit: Eve Wingate, Jonathan Clark, Su Tan, Klaus Bechner and Ivan Godofsky. A humanoid who calls himself The Alien says his world orbits a sun about to go nova and his people need a new home within thirty-five days, but their moral code forbids killing intelligent life. He hands each of the five a clear round case holding three capsules that can destroy all human life within a three thousand mile diameter, and twenty-seven days to choose. Only the thought of the person who received a case can open it; after that anyone may use a capsule. When the twenty-seven days pass the capsules become inert. The Alien then tells the whole world what he has done.
