Key moments
- Book 3 · Ch 26Sons of the Earth attack Antarctic station
In Year 6 of the Deterrence Era, over three hundred Sons of the Earth attacked a gravitational wave station in Antarctica and nearly seized it before defenders destroyed the antenna.
- Book 3 · Ch 30Analysis of deterrence failure
The author argues the failure stemmed less from the number of transmitters than from their vulnerable placement. Gravitational wave ships were never built in numbers because of extremist threats, cost, and a deep fear of their power.
