Invasion! Quotes

“Silent, cruel Takeshi Watanabe at this moment is the most important man among all the teeming hundreds of billions who inhabit the Thousand Worlds. For he rides up to start a war among the stars. He will plant Pyotr’s lie on an airless moonlet yet change Orion forever. Troops and warships are waiting to gather at jump-off bohr points. Waiting on his word. They they’ll swarm over the Krevan frontiers to launch the first multi-system war in three centuries. 'It’s war at last! Gods, I do love it so!”

“A fat black fly sitting on a splintered willow trunk watches Kenji Hamaguchi die. She hears thudding! body parts landing and thinks not of what they once were or might have been but only of her own kind, and of how rare is such good fortune falling to her from the sky. Truth be told, it’s not as rare as she believes. For she is herself carrion spawn now in the hundred thousandth, millionth generation since a careful laying of eggs by an ancestor in a dead Frenchman’s eye at Verdun. The Lord of Flies is not so cruel or fickle as she thinks. War is good to flies.”
