Summary: "The Vanishers" by Arthur J. Burks is a science fiction novelette written in the early 1950s. The story revolves around a group of marines who find themselves in an inexplicable situation where they are trapped by a mysterious invisible barrier in a bizarre desert setting. The book likely explores themes of survival, the unknown, and the nature of reality as its characters confront the terrifying phenomena occurring around them. In "The Vanishers," a marine unit led by Major Rafe King lands in what they believe to be Cuba, only to discover that they have been transported to a vast, desolate desert where the Caribbean Sea has vanished. As they attempt to understand their predicament, they encounter an invisible wall that confines them, along with strange Shadow Men who challenge their survival. Tensions rise when Japanese soldiers, unaware of the war's end, stumble into their midst, complicating the already dire situation. The marines must band together to face not only the enigmatic forces at play but also the existential threats posed by these elusive Shadow Men and the ultimate realization that they may not even be on Earth anymore, leading to a gripping conclusion filled with suspense and mystery.
