Produced by Sankar Viswanathan, Greg Weeks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Invasion" by Murray Leinster is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds in the year 2037, offering a speculative vision of a future where Earth faces the threat posed by Martian invaders. The story centers on Thorn Hard, a high-level flier in the United Nations' Pacific Watch, who encounters a mysterious situation involving an unidentified spacecraft and must confront both his own disbelief and external forces at play that could lead to a global conflict. The plot begins with Thorn enjoying a day off with his fiancée, Sylva West, when they become embroiled in an unfolding crisis after the appearance of a massive spaceship. Reports of an incursion lead to confusion as it becomes apparent that the ship might not belong to Martians but rather the Com-Pubs—an enemy political faction. A force dome traps United Nations aircraft, and while Thorn and Sylva work together to elude capture by Kreynborg, a Com-Pub agent, they must also warn their superiors of the brewing disaster before it's too late. The story blends suspense and action, ultimately capturing themes of international strife, betrayal, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of daunting odds.
