The fate of the Earth fell into the hands of an inquisitive newspaper reporter and a brilliant professor of science as they strived to save mankind from its first interplanetary threat, an attack from a distant neighbour...Ray Cummings was an American author of science fiction, rated one of the "founding fathers of the science fiction pulp genre".
