Grow young or lose the world! BOOK NUMBER: 308. SYNOPSIS: Croyd brought peace to a warring world by means of his Comcord system. When a nation's discord quotient rose to the boiling point, Comcord would trigger the ultimate peace weapon called Z-sting. Z-sting would encapsulate the war-seeking nation, cutting it off totally from the world and from civilization. Comcord worked and peace had reigned for a century--until an inexplicable rise in militarism blew the terror whistle.
