The World Between
When human explorers arrive on a barren world in an distant solar system to terraform it, the neighbouring alien race claim ownership over it and threaten to start a war if they do not leave. A stubborn mission leader calls their bluff, inciting a battle fought through ecological means. Vance explores interstellar conflict through a unique lens here, leading to a satisfying conclusion.
