A friendly alien diplomat of a third species intimates that the threat is not an empty one. Initially, no one associates Lummox with the newcomers, in part due to the size difference (Lummox was overfed). Lummox is finally identified as important royalty of the Hroshii, as well as approximately female (the Hroshii have six sexes).

All paperback editions and the Science Fiction Book Club hard cover edition omit page 148 of Chapter VIII, "The Sensible Thing to Do", which was in the Scribner's edition and the magazine serialization. In this chapter, John Thomas rereads the entries in his great-grandfather's diary of how Lummox was found. Of significance on the omitted page is that: > The diary skipped a couple of days; the Trail Blazer had made an emergency > raise-ship and Assistant Powerman J. T. Stuart had been too busy to write. > John Thomas knew why ... the negotiations opened so hopefully with the > dominant race had failed ... no one knew why.
