General Hamilton Arkay has a dream: intelligent robot soldiers to fight all wars, so that no human soldier will ever again have to die. But Arkay develops a deep emotional attachment to his prototype soldier, FM-1, and when the Army decides the robot project is too expensive, Arkay's surrogate son-nicknamed 'War Toy' by his scornful comrades-is relegated to serving as his assistant in a desk job. When an invading alien army devastates Sydney, Australia, however, Arkay and FM-1 are pressed into service, and with the General dead at the hands of the invaders, 'War Toy' is instrumental in their defeat. An ungrateful Government throws FM-1 out of the Army, and after years of menial jobs in a life now without meaning, the robot finally commits suicide in a veterans hospital. Then, the aliens return...

Synopsis for "The Sword in the Star!: Stave 1: Alas, the Seeds of Man!"

Reprint of the 2nd story from
Marvel Preview #4
In the middle of a battle in the Haamin galaxy, the Ithacons stood by their dying king as many of their men had been slaughtered by the Black Fleet. As the king died, he ordered his sword to be given to his son Prince Wayfinder. Delphos, a man referred to as a "wizard", predicted that Wayfinder would never become king. Wayfinder refused to believe this prediction and refused to follow his father's order to return to battle. Delphos took the prince into battle, as the Black Fleet cut down more of the Ithacons. The Ithacons were decimated, except for Wayfinder and Delphos who survived. The two fled into the burning trees until they reached Delphos' sanctum, where he explained that all of his "magic" was actually science from 15,000 years prior. Delphos told the prince to sit down in a chair, where the latter learned of the history of how humans settled on different planets and forgot about each other. Then, Delphos explained that he was chosen to be a "Methusalah" and live for roughly 10,000 years. Delphos showed Wayfinder a robot named Alkinoos, who would pilot them away from the Haamin fleet into space , as the scientist bled out.
