It is here the invaders have come to despoil and commercialize, to grow and to learn - first a trickle, then a torrent, rushing from a world with no future toward a promise of tomorrow. The Earthman conquers Mars...and then is conquered by it, lulled by dangerous lies of comfort and familiarity, and enchanted by the lingering glamour of an ancient, mysterious native race.

Chi conosce l’ora della propria morte ha già iniziato a morire. È sabato sera, a Berlino. Sono da poco passate le 22. In un silenzioso appartamento d’epoca di Charlottenburg, Jules Tannberg è al telefono.
