Summary: "Special Delivery" by Kris Neville is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story follows Parr, an advanceman sent as the vanguard for an impending alien invasion of Earth, tasked with ensuring that every person on the planet receives a special package before the attack begins. The novel explores themes of identity, loyalty, and the psychological impacts of an upcoming war, primarily through the experiences of Parr and his encounters with an enigmatic enemy known as the Oholo. The opening of the book introduces readers to Parr, who arrives on Earth under the guise of handling a mission related to package deliveries. As he settles into his surroundings, he grapples with his role in the invasion, carefully managing the tension between his duties and his growing unease regarding the consequences of his actions. Time is slipping by as Parr struggles against the pressure from an Oholo counterpart who senses his presence. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes a tense interplay of mental and physical confrontations, setting the stage for the escalating conflict that threatens to expose both the aliens’ intentions and Parr’s own unraveling psyche.
