"The Invading Asteroid" by Manly Wade Wellman is a science fiction novel written in the early 1930s. Set in the year 2675, during an interplanetary conflict between Earth and Mars, the story revolves around the discovery of an asteroid that serves as a hideout for Martian forces preparing to invade Earth. The narrative follows three young Terrestrial soldiers as they inadvertently get involved in unraveling the Martian plans, which could lead to devastation for their home planet. The plot unfolds when the protagonists, Bull Mike Tishinev, Neil Andresson, and Sukune, take a joyride in a military craft, only to encounter a Martian scout who reveals the existence of an artificial asteroid housing an imminent Martian invasion force. After a series of escapades, including capturing and interrogating the Martian, the characters find themselves in a position to thwart a massive Martian attack. The climax of the story leads to a battle where the protagonists fight against overwhelming odds, showcasing their courage and ingenuity. Ultimately, Neil and a Martian named Yaxa form an unexpected alliance amid the chaos of war, leading to a conclusion that focuses on the futility of conflict and the hope of peace between worlds.
