Glass looked doubtful. “I don’t think they could screw that up,” he said. “Any fool can get a ship into orbit.”

“You need to spend more time at Sparta,” Kevin said. “Every last screw-up that can be screwed-up has been committed there, time and time again.”

He smiled at the memory of the blooper reel Mongo had once shown him – even though it hadn't really been that funny – then sobered. “Overall,” he asked, “what do you think our chances are?”

“If we had equal numbers to them, we’d be laughing all the way to their homeworld,” Glass said, frankly. “As it is, they have a distressing number of everything from directed energy weapons to missile launchers. If they decided to soak up the losses and just keep coming, Kevin, we’d be fucked. And if they ever realise just how advanced we will be in a few decades, they will throw a million ships at Earth just to exterminate us from existence.”
