The Star Invaders

(1 customer review)

The Star Invaders is a rare early science-fiction story by Steve King, first published by Triad, Inc. and Gaslight Books in June 1964 as part of a 17-page booklet. The story follows Jerry Hinken in the aftermath of a devastating alien invasion, as mysterious extraterrestrials arrive in cigar-shaped spacecraft and attack cities across the globe. Forced to unite against a common enemy, humanity faces overwhelming odds in this action-packed tale of survival, conflict, and resistance. This uncollected work offers a fascinating glimpse into King’s early imagination and developing storytelling talents.

Description

The Star Invaders had their own ways of loosening men’s tongues.
Jerry Hinken lay spread-eagled upon the obsidian slab, stripped to the waist, thinking of just that thing…thinking and remembering.
They had come only months ago, in their cigar-shaped projectiles, skimming across the skies of a frightened Earth, Russian and American became one against the Star Invaders. Yes, the barriers of men’s minds were knocked away in one sudden blow, but it had come too late.
The Star Invaders, after weeks of observation, had finally swooped down, confident in their might. The Kremlin, Washington D.C., Stockholm, London…they went up in green gouts of flame from the Star Invaders’ guns.
