«It was a bril­liant idea and the only idea that could have worked. Up above, on the ruined, blast­ed sur­face of what had once been a liv­ing plan­et, the leady crawled and scur­ried, and fought Man’s war. And under­sur­face, in the depths of the plan­et, human beings toiled end­less­ly to pro­duce the weapons to con­tin­ue the fight, month by month, year by year.»
