The Coming of the Terrans

Leigh Brackett

A dying planet, dried up and hostile – a planet of countless years and countless mysteries.

When the Terrans came, they found a world of dead sea-bottoms, lost civilizations, and secretive tribes bitterly reenting their intrusion on the fading glory of an ancient planet.

The Earthmen looked down upon the crumbling ruins of a brilliant culture, and laughed at the stories of invincible gods and forgotten magic lingering in the forbidden cities of Jekkara, Barrakesh, Valkis... they would not laugh for long.
