Writer(s): Al Feldstein
Penciller(s): Al Williamson (signed)

Colorist(s): Marie Severin

Subject Matter
Genres: science fiction
Character(s): A spaceship (host, death); Colonel Dane (death); un-named General; the Electronic Brain
Synopsis: Colonel Dane is selected to pilot a brand new spaceship, powered by an electronic brain, which enables this vessel to be a virtual one-man war rocket. While it seems the rocketship could operate itself with no human pilot, the drawback is the ship is void of emotion: it cannot hate, it doesn't know love and it cannot create. That drawback will cost Dane his life and the electronic brain its housing.
