To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Those words, delivered with professional aplomb by WBC anchor Margaret Parker from the deck of the Caesar, ignited wild celebrations around the world: drums in Beijing, rockets in New York and London, light shows in Paris, parades in Moscow, hallelujahs at the Vatican. The Scorpions are in full retreat. It was over. The only truly critical war in the history of the species had been fought and won out near Sirius in a single lightning engagement. First contact. It was supposed... to be the culminating achievement in our expansion beyond home. But the old dreams had died in the face of starfaring creatures of relentless hostility, invaders whose ferocity seemed inconsistent with their technological achievements. Beings who neither gave nor accepted quarter. The war, measured from the opening assault by the Rainbow Squadron to Parker’s final comment, spanned thirty-two hours and eleven minutes.
