Watershed (1955) is the final story in James Blish’s The Seedling Stars, in which some pantropic Tellurians return to Earth, an again uninhabited world, to colonise it. I place this as happening some time after the Tellurian Lords of the Galaxy have defeated the Saurians and parked Earth back in orbit somewhere, quite possibly the Solar System, and I have a particular reason for wanting to date it to about halfway through the first aeon, which I shall reveal later.
