"Hell?" repeated the Martian reproachfully. "But it iss a ssplendid miniaturre worrld -- nineteen of yourr miless in diameterr, with arrtificial grravity centerr to hold airr and waterr; ssown, too, with Terresstrrial plantss. And companionss of yourr own rrace." Parr heard what the Martian said. But he knew -- they both knew -- that it was the Devil's own asteroid. It was doom, or worse. . . .
