Summary: "Earth's Maginot Line" by Roy Paetzke is a science fiction narrative written during the early to mid-20th century. This speculative work delves into themes of space exploration, the dangers of cosmic rays, and the evolutionary implications for humanity if these rays were to engulf Earth. The story follows the journey of a space crew on a mission to the Moon, led by inventor James "Jimmy" Lorre, who uncovers a cosmic threat to mankind’s existence. The plot centers on Jimmy Lorre and the crew of the spaceship "New Hope" as they successfully traverse the Heaviside Layer into outer space. However, Lorre experiences a telepathic connection with an ancient Martian civilization while in flight, learning that cosmic rays, which they shield from Earth, will soon inundate the planet, endangering all life. Upon realizing the severity of this impending doom, Lorre instructs the crew to abandon their Moon mission, prioritizing the construction of a protective "ionoscreen" around Earth as advised by the Martians. This newfound knowledge sets the stage for humanity's survival, as Lorre prepares to share his research and insights to avert a catastrophic fate. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
