The Eel

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

What does one do with the most slippery criminal known to the Galaxy when he is finally caught after 26 years? Which of the planets howling for his neck to stretch will get him? And what will happen at The Eel's trial on the planet which wins the right to punish him for the crimes he committed there?

This nifty little story was originally published in the April 1958 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction magazine and is available free at Project Gutenberg here http://www.gutenberg.org/files/31981/...

5/20 21 mins. Part of LibriVox Audiobook “Short SF Collection Vol. 059”. Well narrated by Dale Grothmann. Having caught the super villain The Eel every world squabbles over the right to punish him. Fairly consistently amusing.
