-                           The Burnt Planet
-
-                          By WILLIAM BRITTAIN
-
-          Mad with despair, they fought back from the ruins.
-           Whoever these invaders were, they should not have
-         a world which its defenders themselves had destroyed!

-                      Planet Stories Winter 1948.

-
-
-The land was dark in the softly falling rain, and the smell of green
-things was in the air. The crew huddled in their cloaks and peered into
-the approaching dusk as they unloaded the great silver space ship.
-They were apprehensive of the stark ruins that began barely a mile from
-the ship, the ruins that seemed to sprawl interminably across the flat
-land beside the broad river.
-
-In the metal headquarters hut, the commander glanced nervously at his
-chronometer. The astrogator looked up from his interminable reckonings
-and smiled.
-
-"Don't worry, captain," he said. "They'll be all right. After all, we
-haven't seen any life but a few small animals. And they ran from us."
-
-The commander nodded absently, but went to the open door and stared out
-into the rain. It made a musical tinkling on the thin metallic dome of
-the hut.
-
-"I know," he said. "Perhaps that's why I'm worried. It's the feeling of
-death here, as though it might spring at us from some corner in those
-ruins.... I should have sent out a stronger scout party."
-
-The astrogator shrugged and returned to his log. "If anything had gone
-wrong, they would have messaged us."
-
-       *       *       *       *       *
-
-The commander smiled an unwilling agreement, but he stayed in the open
-door, searching the gathering darkness toward the city. He could not
-shake loose from the feeling of doom that had settled on him as soon
-as they had made their landfall and clambered from the airlocks of the
-spaceship. This was a strange world, the commander thought to himself.
-It seemed to have everything--everything but intelligent inhabitants.
-They had circled it for two days before they had chosen this wide green
-valley for their landfall. They had seen cities, many of them, great
-cities along seacoasts and in rich plains, cities in mountains and in
-valleys, but nowhere had they seen life.
-
-The first cautious explorations after the landing that morning had
-shown that there was plenty of good water. The soil seemed rich, and
-vegetation grew in profusion, even among the ruins they had warily
-skirted. The atmosphere was perfect ... it was what they had searched
-for through the long bitter years ... this stable atmosphere with
-its abundance of life-giving oxygen. And minerals aplenty ... the
-burned and blasted metal skeletons of the ruined city showed that. The
-commander told himself that he was a fool for worrying, when he should
-be shouting with joy at his luck.
-
-There was a shout from the outpost, a laugh, and then his
-second-in-command loped through the rain, smiling broadly. Behind him
-were the others, laughing and joking, shrugging their packs to the
-ground. Gladness and wonder were in their faces and their voices, and
-the commander knew that this was the world they had sought for so long.
-
-The lieutenant ducked into the doorway and paused to warm himself at
-the little thermal unit. He wiped the rain from his face, reached for
-the wine bottle beside the astrogator's work board, and tilted it.
-
-"This is it, sir," he said. He was young, and Fate had been good to
-him, and he was exulting in it. "It's everything we ever dared dream
-about. It will support the whole race, every one of us, I think, if the
-rest of this world is anything like what we've seen this day."
-
-The commander grinned back at him, relief plain in his face. He was
-phrasing the message that he would send home across the void, the
-message they had waited for down through the weary years, the years
-that had rolled by while the land burned up under a blazing sun, while
-the water disappeared and the atmosphere became thin.... But there was
-still in him the doubt, the remnant of fear....
-
-"Did you," he spaced the words carefully, "find any sign
-of--intelligent life?"
-
-The lieutenant's smile faded. He glanced quickly out at the men,
-breaking out their rations, resting from the labor, and looked back at
-his captain. He nodded.
-
-"Tracks," he said. "We came across them leading out of the deserted
-city."
-
-"Many?"
-
-"I don't think so. Five or six, perhaps. And we found where they had
-killed one of the small animals and eaten it."
-
-"Did they seem--intelligent? Really, I mean?"
-
-The lieutenant shrugged. "Who knows? They're bipeds, at any rate. We
-followed the tracks, but they had taken to a small stream bed, and we
-lost them."
-
-The commander pondered. Then he made his decision.
-
-"In a country as large as this," he said, "five or six can't make any
-difference to us, not even to a small party like our own. And certainly
-not when the ships begin arriving from home."
-
-The lieutenant leaned back on his pack, his face content. The commander
-sat at a field desk and started writing, carefully, knowing that
-what he wrote would someday be in every textbook. The message was not
-difficult, really. Thousands of space captains had phrased the message
-in their minds down through, the years of The Search. So had he, time
-and again, as he lay in his bunk or watched the wheeling stars from
-the bridge. In the glow of the thermal unit his stern face glowed with
-pride and the certainty that it was his ship that had saved a world....
-
-In another hut the scholar stared thoughtfully at the thing he had
-found in the old house where they had discovered the tracks. There had
-been a language on this dead world, and in his hand he held some of the
-brown mouldering pages upon which the language had been written. He
-applied his scholar's mind to the puzzle....
-
-       *       *       *       *       *
-
-The city crouched grimly about them. Even though they had neither seen
-nor heard any life in these streets save a few small animals who had
-fled their coming, they gripped their projectors at the ready.
-
-Almost every structure had been damaged. Many were mere twisted heaps
-of debris, timbers and girders thrusting insanely at a sky that today
-was blue and benign. The taller, sturdier buildings still stood, but
-their walls were cracked and their windows gaping hollow eyes in the
-blank faces. Rubble clogged the streets, and grass had split the
-pavements. Here and there among the ruins a sapling stood bravely, its
-roots grasping in the shattered masonry.
-
-In the streets, rusting and ancient, were objects which they surmised
-must have been vehicles. In some of them they found fragments of bone
-and shreds of clothing. They had seen other bones; in doorways, on the
-ground floors of the few buildings they had penetrated.
-
-"Whatever it was," the second-in-command said, "it struck them swiftly."
-
-"Some sickness, a virus, perhaps?" the astrogator suggested.
-
-The commander shook his head. "War," he said. "Only war could do this
-to a city."
-
-The lieutenant said admiringly, "Whoever they were, they certainly
-developed some pretty terrific weapons."
-
-The commander had smiled, and patted his projector. "No more terrific
-than these," he said. "Our own people developed weapons, too. Thank the
-stars that we have learned not to use them on each other."
-
-The scholar looked up from the inscription he had found on the side of
-a building.
-
-"And thank the stars," he said, "that we learned in time. The people of
-this world apparently did not."
-
-It was then, while they spoke, that from somewhere in the ruins there
-was a sharp crack, and one of the crew spun around and fell in the
-street. In the shattered silence of the city the sound echoed crazily.
-
-"Take cover!" the captain shouted, and he plunged into a huge doorway,
-peering around the protecting portal. There was another crack, and
-something whined by him.
-
-"Projectile weapon!" whispered the lieutenant behind him. He was prone,
-sighting his projector at a half-ruined four-story house at the corner.
-He pressed the control switch, once, and a section of the second floor
-seemed to explode into hurtling gray dust and shrieking steel.
-
-Other projectors were spitting from doorways and from behind piles of
-brick and debris in the streets. The captain, watching the building
-from which the answering fire seemed to come, thought he saw movement
-behind one of the blank windows. Before he could take aim, there was a
-ripping series of shots and the masonry of the portal flew into dust.
-He heard the low flat whine of ricochets, and he withdrew deeper into
-the dimness of the great entranceway. Up the street he heard a crew
-member cry out in pain.
-
-"The second floor!" he cried, and a hurricane of electron bolts ripped
-into the building at the corner. The building seemed to rip apart
-under the impact and there was the roar of falling bricks and timber
-as a floor gave way with a crash. They dashed out of cover, crouching,
-firing as they went.
-
-They found three bodies in the ruins. Bipeds. Pale pasty flesh, faces
-half-hidden by tangled hair. The bodies were only partially clad in
-faded tattered clothes, and the feet were encased in what appeared
-to be the tanned hide of an animal. The flesh and the clothing were
-filthy, and they stank. The bodies were huddled around their weapon, a
-metallic-looking projectile-thrower mounted on three legs. Its barrel
-was still hot.
-
-A little later they flushed another of the creatures in a narrow
-street. It howled gibberish at them and fled, but they cornered the
-thing against a heap of rubble. It mouthed things at them, and hurled
-bits of brick. Its eyes were wild and staring, and spittle trickled
-down the face into the sodden filthy rags it wore. They had to kill it,
-finally.
-
-[Illustration: _They had to kill it, finally._]
-
-The commander turned the dead thing over with his projector stock, and
-stared at it.
-
-"Mad," he said. "There are only a few of them, and they are mad."
-
-The scholar nodded. He had found many of the writings, and they were
-stuffed in his pack and in his pockets, and he held one while he talked.
-
-"They are mad," he said, "and there cannot be many of them. Certainly
-not enough to halt the advance of civilization."
-
-It was as if he saw, already, the soaring towers of the cities they
-would build here over the pitiful ruins, as though the busy highways
-already spanned this rich new world.
-
-"We have won our bridgehead here," he said. "Soon we will have won the
-world. The world," he looked down at the carcass at his feet, "that
-these poor fools threw away."
-
-       *       *       *       *       *
-
-The scholar made his greatest find late that afternoon, on the
-street-level floor of an almost-intact building. It must have been
-a place where writings had been stored, or perhaps sold. The brown
-rotting pages were everywhere, and the mouldering covers in which the
-writings had been bound. The scholar cried out with pleasure, and the
-commander was forced to delay their return to the ship so that the crew
-could carry part of the loot with them, for further study.
-
-The scholar was squatting in a corner of the room, poring over one of
-the ancient records, when he looked up and shouted, "I think I've got
-it! I think I've got it! I think I've found the key to their language!"
-
-The commander had smiled indulgently, for though he believed in
-action, he had respect for the scholar, and knew that the things the
-scholar might discover in the old writings might help him in his own
-task as leader of the expedition.
-
-It was then that the creatures attacked for the last time. They must
-have crept into the building and gathered there in the dimness, waiting
-their opportunity. There were six of them. They poured through a rear
-door into the room of writings, howling, their projectile-throwers
-barking. Their wild ululations were the screams of the demented. The
-commander could see the madness in their eyes and he knew why he had
-been afraid.
-
-The astrogator was down before they could return the fire, and then the
-projectors cracked out their blue-flamed doom.
-
-The lieutenant cursed as he was hit; he dropped to one knee, firing
-swiftly, and then the creatures were down and it was over. The wild
-bearded faces were charred and blackened, and in the sudden silence was
-the crackle of the little blue flames as they danced over the filthy
-ragged clothing of the dead. The commander let his breath go, at last,
-in a long gasping sigh.
-
-He started to walk toward the bodies, knowing that they were the
-last, knowing that if there had been any more they would have waited,
-gathering strength, and they would not have made the crazy suicidal
-attack. The fighting was over. The savage creatures, unbalanced by
-their miserable existence among the ruins of the glory that had been
-theirs, would never again threaten the bridgehead he had carved on this
-world. It was his world now.
-
-There was a frantic tugging at his sleeve, and he shook the battle fog
-from his eyes and grinned at the scholar. The commander remembered
-that even while the fight had roared hot and sharp, the scholar had
-not moved from his corner, nor taken his eyes from the pages he was
-studying. And now the scholar was fairly dancing with excitement.
-
-"I've got it!" he said, almost chortling. "It wasn't hard with the
-key--and I found the key!"
-
-He gestured toward the little tangle of bodies, silent in the room of
-writings.
-
-"They called themselves 'Men,'" he said.
-
-The commander shrugged.

-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-
-<h2>By WILLIAM BRITTAIN</h2>
-
-<p>Mad with despair, they fought back from the ruins.<br />
-Whoever these invaders were, they should not have<br />
-a world which its defenders themselves had destroyed!</p>

-<hr class="chap" />
-
-<p>The land was dark in the softly falling rain, and the smell of green
-things was in the air. The crew huddled in their cloaks and peered into
-the approaching dusk as they unloaded the great silver space ship.
-They were apprehensive of the stark ruins that began barely a mile from
-the ship, the ruins that seemed to sprawl interminably across the flat
-land beside the broad river.</p>
-
-<p>In the metal headquarters hut, the commander glanced nervously at his
-chronometer. The astrogator looked up from his interminable reckonings
-and smiled.</p>
-
-<p>"Don't worry, captain," he said. "They'll be all right. After all, we
-haven't seen any life but a few small animals. And they ran from us."</p>
-
-<p>The commander nodded absently, but went to the open door and stared out
-into the rain. It made a musical tinkling on the thin metallic dome of
-the hut.</p>
-
-<p>"I know," he said. "Perhaps that's why I'm worried. It's the feeling of
-death here, as though it might spring at us from some corner in those
-ruins.... I should have sent out a stronger scout party."</p>
-
-<p>The astrogator shrugged and returned to his log. "If anything had gone
-wrong, they would have messaged us."</p>
-
-<hr class="tb" />
-
-<p>The commander smiled an unwilling agreement, but he stayed in the open
-door, searching the gathering darkness toward the city. He could not
-shake loose from the feeling of doom that had settled on him as soon
-as they had made their landfall and clambered from the airlocks of the
-spaceship. This was a strange world, the commander thought to himself.
-It seemed to have everything&mdash;everything but intelligent inhabitants.
-They had circled it for two days before they had chosen this wide green
-valley for their landfall. They had seen cities, many of them, great
-cities along seacoasts and in rich plains, cities in mountains and in
-valleys, but nowhere had they seen life.</p>
-
-<p>The first cautious explorations after the landing that morning had
-shown that there was plenty of good water. The soil seemed rich, and
-vegetation grew in profusion, even among the ruins they had warily
-skirted. The atmosphere was perfect ... it was what they had searched
-for through the long bitter years ... this stable atmosphere with
-its abundance of life-giving oxygen. And minerals aplenty ... the
-burned and blasted metal skeletons of the ruined city showed that. The
-commander told himself that he was a fool for worrying, when he should
-be shouting with joy at his luck.</p>
-
-<p>There was a shout from the outpost, a laugh, and then his
-second-in-command loped through the rain, smiling broadly. Behind him
-were the others, laughing and joking, shrugging their packs to the
-ground. Gladness and wonder were in their faces and their voices, and
-the commander knew that this was the world they had sought for so long.</p>
-
-<p>The lieutenant ducked into the doorway and paused to warm himself at
-the little thermal unit. He wiped the rain from his face, reached for
-the wine bottle beside the astrogator's work board, and tilted it.</p>
-
-<p>"This is it, sir," he said. He was young, and Fate had been good to
-him, and he was exulting in it. "It's everything we ever dared dream
-about. It will support the whole race, every one of us, I think, if the
-rest of this world is anything like what we've seen this day."</p>
-
-<p>The commander grinned back at him, relief plain in his face. He was
-phrasing the message that he would send home across the void, the
-message they had waited for down through the weary years, the years
-that had rolled by while the land burned up under a blazing sun, while
-the water disappeared and the atmosphere became thin.... But there was
-still in him the doubt, the remnant of fear....</p>
-
-<p>"Did you," he spaced the words carefully, "find any sign
-of&mdash;intelligent life?"</p>
-
-<p>The lieutenant's smile faded. He glanced quickly out at the men,
-breaking out their rations, resting from the labor, and looked back at
-his captain. He nodded.</p>
-
-<p>"Tracks," he said. "We came across them leading out of the deserted
-city."</p>
-
-<p>"Many?"</p>
-
-<p>"I don't think so. Five or six, perhaps. And we found where they had
-killed one of the small animals and eaten it."</p>
-
-<p>"Did they seem&mdash;intelligent? Really, I mean?"</p>
-
-<p>The lieutenant shrugged. "Who knows? They're bipeds, at any rate. We
-followed the tracks, but they had taken to a small stream bed, and we
-lost them."</p>
-
-<p>The commander pondered. Then he made his decision.</p>
-
-<p>"In a country as large as this," he said, "five or six can't make any
-difference to us, not even to a small party like our own. And certainly
-not when the ships begin arriving from home."</p>
-
-<p>The lieutenant leaned back on his pack, his face content. The commander
-sat at a field desk and started writing, carefully, knowing that
-what he wrote would someday be in every textbook. The message was not
-difficult, really. Thousands of space captains had phrased the message
-in their minds down through, the years of The Search. So had he, time
-and again, as he lay in his bunk or watched the wheeling stars from
-the bridge. In the glow of the thermal unit his stern face glowed with
-pride and the certainty that it was his ship that had saved a world....</p>
-
-<p>In another hut the scholar stared thoughtfully at the thing he had
-found in the old house where they had discovered the tracks. There had
-been a language on this dead world, and in his hand he held some of the
-brown mouldering pages upon which the language had been written. He
-applied his scholar's mind to the puzzle....</p>
-
-<hr class="tb" />
-
-<p>The city crouched grimly about them. Even though they had neither seen
-nor heard any life in these streets save a few small animals who had
-fled their coming, they gripped their projectors at the ready.</p>
-
-<p>Almost every structure had been damaged. Many were mere twisted heaps
-of debris, timbers and girders thrusting insanely at a sky that today
-was blue and benign. The taller, sturdier buildings still stood, but
-their walls were cracked and their windows gaping hollow eyes in the
-blank faces. Rubble clogged the streets, and grass had split the
-pavements. Here and there among the ruins a sapling stood bravely, its
-roots grasping in the shattered masonry.</p>
-
-<p>In the streets, rusting and ancient, were objects which they surmised
-must have been vehicles. In some of them they found fragments of bone
-and shreds of clothing. They had seen other bones; in doorways, on the
-ground floors of the few buildings they had penetrated.</p>
-
-<p>"Whatever it was," the second-in-command said, "it struck them swiftly."</p>
-
-<p>"Some sickness, a virus, perhaps?" the astrogator suggested.</p>
-
-<p>The commander shook his head. "War," he said. "Only war could do this
-to a city."</p>
-
-<p>The lieutenant said admiringly, "Whoever they were, they certainly
-developed some pretty terrific weapons."</p>
-
-<p>The commander had smiled, and patted his projector. "No more terrific
-than these," he said. "Our own people developed weapons, too. Thank the
-stars that we have learned not to use them on each other."</p>
-
-<p>The scholar looked up from the inscription he had found on the side of
-a building.</p>
-
-<p>"And thank the stars," he said, "that we learned in time. The people of
-this world apparently did not."</p>
-
-<p>It was then, while they spoke, that from somewhere in the ruins there
-was a sharp crack, and one of the crew spun around and fell in the
-street. In the shattered silence of the city the sound echoed crazily.</p>
-
-<p>"Take cover!" the captain shouted, and he plunged into a huge doorway,
-peering around the protecting portal. There was another crack, and
-something whined by him.</p>
-
-<p>"Projectile weapon!" whispered the lieutenant behind him. He was prone,
-sighting his projector at a half-ruined four-story house at the corner.
-He pressed the control switch, once, and a section of the second floor
-seemed to explode into hurtling gray dust and shrieking steel.</p>
-
-<p>Other projectors were spitting from doorways and from behind piles of
-brick and debris in the streets. The captain, watching the building
-from which the answering fire seemed to come, thought he saw movement
-behind one of the blank windows. Before he could take aim, there was a
-ripping series of shots and the masonry of the portal flew into dust.
-He heard the low flat whine of ricochets, and he withdrew deeper into
-the dimness of the great entranceway. Up the street he heard a crew
-member cry out in pain.</p>
-
-<p>"The second floor!" he cried, and a hurricane of electron bolts ripped
-into the building at the corner. The building seemed to rip apart
-under the impact and there was the roar of falling bricks and timber
-as a floor gave way with a crash. They dashed out of cover, crouching,
-firing as they went.</p>
-
-<p>They found three bodies in the ruins. Bipeds. Pale pasty flesh, faces
-half-hidden by tangled hair. The bodies were only partially clad in
-faded tattered clothes, and the feet were encased in what appeared
-to be the tanned hide of an animal. The flesh and the clothing were
-filthy, and they stank. The bodies were huddled around their weapon, a
-metallic-looking projectile-thrower mounted on three legs. Its barrel
-was still hot.</p>
-
-<p>A little later they flushed another of the creatures in a narrow
-street. It howled gibberish at them and fled, but they cornered the
-thing against a heap of rubble. It mouthed things at them, and hurled
-bits of brick. Its eyes were wild and staring, and spittle trickled
-down the face into the sodden filthy rags it wore. They had to kill it,
-finally.</p>

-  </div>
-</div>
-
-<hr class="chap" />
-
-<p>The commander turned the dead thing over with his projector stock, and
-stared at it.</p>
-
-<p>"Mad," he said. "There are only a few of them, and they are mad."</p>
-
-<p>The scholar nodded. He had found many of the writings, and they were
-stuffed in his pack and in his pockets, and he held one while he talked.</p>
-
-<p>"They are mad," he said, "and there cannot be many of them. Certainly
-not enough to halt the advance of civilization."</p>
-
-<p>It was as if he saw, already, the soaring towers of the cities they
-would build here over the pitiful ruins, as though the busy highways
-already spanned this rich new world.</p>
-
-<p>"We have won our bridgehead here," he said. "Soon we will have won the
-world. The world," he looked down at the carcass at his feet, "that
-these poor fools threw away."</p>
-
-<hr class="tb" />
-
-<p>The scholar made his greatest find late that afternoon, on the
-street-level floor of an almost-intact building. It must have been
-a place where writings had been stored, or perhaps sold. The brown
-rotting pages were everywhere, and the mouldering covers in which the
-writings had been bound. The scholar cried out with pleasure, and the
-commander was forced to delay their return to the ship so that the crew
-could carry part of the loot with them, for further study.</p>
-
-<p>The scholar was squatting in a corner of the room, poring over one of
-the ancient records, when he looked up and shouted, "I think I've got
-it! I think I've got it! I think I've found the key to their language!"</p>
-
-<p>The commander had smiled indulgently, for though he believed in
-action, he had respect for the scholar, and knew that the things the
-scholar might discover in the old writings might help him in his own
-task as leader of the expedition.</p>
-
-<p>It was then that the creatures attacked for the last time. They must
-have crept into the building and gathered there in the dimness, waiting
-their opportunity. There were six of them. They poured through a rear
-door into the room of writings, howling, their projectile-throwers
-barking. Their wild ululations were the screams of the demented. The
-commander could see the madness in their eyes and he knew why he had
-been afraid.</p>
-
-<p>The astrogator was down before they could return the fire, and then the
-projectors cracked out their blue-flamed doom.</p>
-
-<p>The lieutenant cursed as he was hit; he dropped to one knee, firing
-swiftly, and then the creatures were down and it was over. The wild
-bearded faces were charred and blackened, and in the sudden silence was
-the crackle of the little blue flames as they danced over the filthy
-ragged clothing of the dead. The commander let his breath go, at last,
-in a long gasping sigh.</p>
-
-<p>He started to walk toward the bodies, knowing that they were the
-last, knowing that if there had been any more they would have waited,
-gathering strength, and they would not have made the crazy suicidal
-attack. The fighting was over. The savage creatures, unbalanced by
-their miserable existence among the ruins of the glory that had been
-theirs, would never again threaten the bridgehead he had carved on this
-world. It was his world now.</p>
-
-<p>There was a frantic tugging at his sleeve, and he shook the battle fog
-from his eyes and grinned at the scholar. The commander remembered
-that even while the fight had roared hot and sharp, the scholar had
-not moved from his corner, nor taken his eyes from the pages he was
-studying. And now the scholar was fairly dancing with excitement.</p>
-
-<p>"I've got it!" he said, almost chortling. "It wasn't hard with the
-key&mdash;and I found the key!"</p>
-
-<p>He gestured toward the little tangle of bodies, silent in the room of
-writings.</p>
-
-<p>"They called themselves 'Men,'" he said.</p>
-
-<p>The commander shrugged.</p>

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
