Bei einer Zugfahrt kommen zwei Männer miteinander ins Gespräch, während dessen der ältere ausführlich über einen Traum berichtet, der ihn durch seinen Realismus an den Grenzen und Vorstellungen der Wirklichkeit zweifeln lässt. Er schildert darin die Vision eines zukünftigen grausamen Krieges, in welchem die 100%ig patriotischen Schafsköpfe von ihren politischen Führern zu unmenschlichen Bestien aufgewiegelt und neuartige Kriegsmaschinerien eingesetzt werden. Wells reflektiert in dieser Erzählung seine Vorahnung des ersten Weltkriegs.

In the darkness of space a battered fleet hovers over a thriving world, a lost colony intended to be the refuge of a defeated ruler. Instead of an abandoned safe haven, the refugees find a thriving world grappling in political and military intrigue. The new worlds’ tech is far inferior to that of the desperate spacefarers, but the natives have the numbers to make a hard, nasty fight. Instead of war, the fleet manipulates the indigenous population to gain leverage until a mutiny erupts within their own ranks, tearing them apart.

Along the way, they discover that the true monsters are not the mutants of the wastes; instead the enemy that they must fear the most is their fellow man.
