Sinopsis

Allenby, in command of the Mars I, was first to set foot outside the ship. He took his 'one small step for man' -- and found himself staring at the rock in front of him. It was about five feet high. Ordinary granite -- no special shape -- and several inches below its summit, running straight through it in a northeasterly direction, was a neatly round four-inch hole.He made a pun and grunted.'Well, I?ll be,' said Janus, our photographer. 'A hole.''In a rock,' added Gonzales, our botanist.'Round,' said Randolph, our biologist.'An artifact,' finished Allenby softly.Before we were done we?d found similar holes all over the surface of the planet.
