Don't go! Don't go!

In Charles L Harness old classic 'The Paradox Men', a mysterious spacecraft crashes to earth and two living beings are rescued.  One passes for human, but is clearly more.  The other is a bad tempered monkey of no clear species.  Meanwhile, the mining the sun for Muirium (a sort of PyRE) has put insane super weapons in play on earth, and it seems inevitable that the government will succumb to all out war soon. 

Against the government stands all that remains of Kennicot Muir (inventor of Muirium) and the mysterious Guild.of Thieves.  I cannot now recall or find the name and position of the antagonist, but let's say he's the presidents chief of staff.  He has adopted the monkey and has a personal vendetta against Alar the thief. In a final  confrontation on the sun, they are all launched across the universe faster than light* in an epic Muirium meltdown.

Before he left, the president was warned by the wee monkey: 'Don't go! Don't go!'

I got the same appeal from my little monkey this morning - and wondered where I would end the day.

*spoilers: this means they go a little way back in time while circumnavigating the universe, and become the spaceship Alar and the monkey come from.  The monkey was the chief of staff's future self.  Another echo of my little messenger this morning.
