Tony and the Beetles
The Pas-udeti war-fleet had turned the flank of the human war-fleet, and, for the first time in a century, the humans were retreating. But this planet around Orion was Tony’s home. He’d been born here. He had Pas-udeti friends. He’d known them for five years. They were building a model spaceport. Nothing would change…
Tony and the Beetles was published in Orbit volume 1 number 2, 1953.
