About This Book

A Martian scouting expedition lands on Earth expecting primitive life but discovers lush vegetation and unfamiliar flying animals, then encounters composite beings made of living mounts carrying metallic, articulated machines. The explorers misinterpret these sights, conclude native intelligence and technological enslavement, and engage the machine riders with energy weapons only to find the metal constructs resilient and dangerous. The narrator recounts the expedition's alarming encounters and the resulting cautionary judgment that Earth poses unforeseen hazards making colonization perilous.
