This is a well-known, and rather funky, Sandyism. Though it isn't so much that the Praxians are such hard-asses that they're militarily pushing the Pentans out, but that the Snow Line is moviong for _climatic_ reasons. (I presume there's some at least marginal ecological advantage to be had on either side of this, with the Praxians better adapted to the dry, and Pentans to the cold, or whatever.) And the punch-line is that it is of course the Lunars who've done this, with their 'damn Ruskies been foolin' with the weather again!' Icebreaker expeditions.

He's an sick and twisted individual is our Mr. Petersen -- and don't we just love him for it?

Cheers,
Alex.
