Corinth feels "...the sea wind in his face..." (p. 176)
When Helga tells him that it is he who has become afraid to face life:
"There was a long stillness, only the sea and the wind had voice." (p. 178)
Then he asks for her help. We leave them with sea, stars and a full moon. However, the concluding chapter belongs to those who remain the old kind of human beings, Archie Brock and Sheila. We will reread it shortly.

Kaor, Paul!
BRAIN WAVE is very much worth reading, despite the flaws it contains due to it being an early work by a still somewhat inexperienced writer.
By and large I think another early novel by Anderson, THE BROKEN SWORD, was a better book. True, Anderson became dissatisfied with it and revised the book. I have both versions of THE BROKEN SWORD--good reading!
Ad astra! Sean
