Chapter VI
One moment Tarlac was falling asleep, warm and secure in his shelter with the fire keeping out the night's chill-- --the next, he was waking in the cockpit of a crashed biplane, a fighter. A biplane? What the hell--! Terra hadn't used biplanes in combat for centuries! And Homeworld hadn't for millennia.
