BREAKTHROUGH IN THE 21 ST CENTURY

Major Harvey Alexander, Director Wildwood Atomic Power Plant—that was his title. But impressive as it sounded, the major knew it was nothing more than governmental putting-out-to-pasture. A former top-ranking Army Intelligence officer isn’t placed in charge of an antique power pile in the middle of nowhere unless someone with a great deal of influence wants him out of the way!

And when three bars of U-metal were smuggled out of the plant—carried right past the exit monitors in an obvious frame-up—then Alexander knew for sure that his unknown enemy was ready for the final step. And in Federated America, where the Department of Psychological Control ruled unquestioned, that final step was the mind-pick!

The major had to work fast now. He had to find out who was trying to destroy him, and why . . . or face the rest of his life as a mindless idiot in a forced labor battalion!

INVADERS ARE COMING
BEWARE THE MASTERS OF PANIC!

For a century America had been a securely isolated power without crisis, turmoil— or progress. Then suddenly super-security measures were shattered by the theft of fissionable metal from an atomic power plant. When it leaked out that the thieves had been invaders from outer space—alien monsters—chaos reigned.

The crisis called for a leader and the ruthless security chief, Julian Bahr, seized the helm, only to find everything he did strangely thwarted.

Was there an alien “Fifth Column” in his own organization?

Were the aliens already in control of the night skies?

Were his growing nightmares a new form of secret weapon?

Not until the last gripping page will you know the amazing secret that threatened America with total disaster. And by then you will have read one of the most outstanding, vividly exciting science-fiction novels ever written.
