"Alien Offer" by Al Sevcik is a science fiction novel written during the late 1950s. The story centers on a desperate situation where Commander Aku of an alien trading fleet arrives on Earth, offering to evacuate one hundred thousand children in response to an impending global catastrophe. The narrative explores themes of trust, survival, and the moral implications of sacrificing children in the face of an unknown alien future. In the storyline, General James Rothwell grapples with the challenging responsibility of selecting children for evacuation amidst widespread panic. As tensions rise, Rothwell becomes increasingly suspicious of Aku's intentions, especially when his own son is chosen as one of the evacuees. The plot thickens as Rothwell discovers that the aliens he initially believed were benevolent are actually part of a sinister plan orchestrated by a race known as the Eleele, who intend to enslave the children. The story builds towards a climax where Rothwell, realizing the depth of the deception, leads a desperate defense against the alien threats, culminating in a dramatic showdown that reveals the true nature of both the aliens and humanity's instinct for survival.
