This is the first of eleven stories in in the fiftieth anniversary collection. It has 38 pages. I started reading this story on August 14, 2016 and finished on August 19, 2016.
The doctor was not happy with his hand replacement. Aldridge, the doctors companion would regrow his hand in 5 days. She gave him a woman's hand to which he responded bah humbug.
The doctor faced soul pirates which snatched youths and devoured each and every molucule of their essence. He had fought these pirates in other parts of time and space. They elude authorities by having impenetrable shields.
Soul pirates are humanoid, but adapt other parts to themselves for the possibility to live 400 years at least.
