Summary

"Invasion" by Murray Leinster is a science fiction tale set in 2037, depicting Earth under threat from Martian invaders or a rival political faction. Thorn Hard, a skilled pilot for the United Nations, is unexpectedly thrown into a crisis during his day off with his fiancée, Sylva West, when a large spaceship appears, causing widespread confusion and terror. The threat is unclear, as the ship might belong to the Com-Pubs, a political enemy, rather than Martians. When a force dome traps United Nations aircraft, Thorn and Sylva find themselves dodging capture by the Com-Pub agent, Kreynborg. Racing against the clock, they must alert their allies to the impending catastrophe. The author weaves together suspense and action to show themes of global conflict, deceit, and the tenacity of humanity when faced with seemingly impossible dangers.
