Hermione Esmerelda was born late in the afternoon beneath a swaying, shading bamboo tree.

...Gladly," replies the questing lama. His lamasery has been occupied for 300 years with but one project-finding and listing j the 9 billion names of God. The explanation satisfies Dr. Wagner and he packs the Mark V Computer off to Tibet with two technicians, George and Chuck. As "electromatic" typewriters tap out the giant brain's findings, George and Chuck begin to have qualms. The high lama believes that the world will come to an end when Mark V emits the 9 billionth name of God. What if the monks turn violent when the Last Trump fails...
