Invaders of Earth (1952) Anthology by Groff Conklin (ed. Jerry eBooks 2015)
Requirements: ePUB reader, 0.9Mb
Overview: This is a book to curl your hair, to make you wonder if your next-door neighbor isn’t a concealed Martian or the postman a Venusian spy.
There are twenty-one colorful and imagination-stretching tales of invasion from outer space (none published in book form before) plus the famous radio script “Invasion from Mars,” by Howard Koch, which terrified thousands when it was broadcast by Orson Welles in 1938.
Among the other exciting stories are:
A brand new, never-before-published hilarious story by Anthony Boucher of a far future invasion from space.
A story translated especially for this book by Willy Ley from the German of Karl Grunert, and never heretofore published in America in any form.
A flying-saucer story by William Tenn completely unlike any other flying-saucer story you ever have read before—especially rewritten for this book.
And eighteen more outstanding tales of earth invasion by some of science fiction’s top writers—Theodore Sturgeon, Katherine MacLean, Murray Leinster, Eric Frank Russell, Margaret St. Clair, A. E. Van Vogt, Robert Moore Williams, Fredric Brown, and others equally brilliant—collected by science fiction’s most versatile and meticulously selective editor, Groff Conklin, whose POSSIBLE WORLDS OF SCIENCE FICTION was one of 1951’s science-fiction best sellers.
