An engaging interstellar story about war, written by a master of science fiction.
Perhaps my last mission on the red planet.
Background:
Thirteen years ago, they made their presence on Earth known. They offered technology and scientific insights that far exceeded human capabilities and became indispensable advisors. We called them the Gurus.
Climax:
After some time, they revealed their true intentions. Their enemies pursued them from sun to sun, planet to planet, spreading their forces thin. They needed our help.
As a result, the first sacrifice had to be made. Skyrines like me were deployed for that, as always.
Their enemies were already in our solar system and wanted to establish a beachhead, not on Earth,
but on Mars.
