About this book
In The Crystal Crypt, by Philip K. Dick, stark terror ruled the Inner-Flight ship on that last Mars-Terra run. A speaker orders the Inner-Flight ship to land at the Control Station on Deimos for inspection. A young man speaking to a girl gives his name as "Thacher, Bob Thacher."
When the port lock opens, talking ceases abruptly as everyone turns to a black-clad Martian official, a Province Leiter. Mara draws attention to a cart that a Martian hufa was pulling, piled high with bales of cloth, rough country cloth, hand dipped. Erickson opens a briefcase and brings out a glass globe paperweight, and says "Yes, we stole the City from the Martians," adding that this is how they got by the lie detector.
