The War of Two Worlds
In space, seeing is not believing!
The twenty-year
Earth-Mars war was finally over. What was left of Earth – its crumbled
cities, its ruined farmlands – were firmly and completely under the
rule of the Martian Archon. And its powerful planetary ruler was taking
no chances: he intended to reduce the Terrans to a society of primitive
agricultural tribes in less than a genearation!
But for David
Arnfeld, ex-spaceman and Earth Base Commander, there was something in
the whole setup which didn't ring true. Why had both sides muffed
countless chances to end that awfull war in its first year or two? And
why had the two planets gone to war in the first place?
In back
of Arnfeld's mind an idea is growing... perhaps there was yet a chance
to save the doomed population of Earth. But if his idea were true, and
proof was available, he had to work fast. Too many people were involved
in this WAR OF TWO WORLDS to let one man upset their plans!
