Klappentext
Biografische Anmerkung

"The White Invaders" is a conventional science fiction quick tale penned by way of Ray Cummings. Set in a futuristic global where area exploration has end up a reality, the narrative revolves around the sudden encounter between Earth's population and a mysterious alien species. As the story unfolds, a atypical and superior alien spacecraft lands on Earth, instigating fear and interest among people. The aliens, referred to as the Zitidars, are white-skinned and endure an eerie resemblance to people. Their arrival sparks a sequence of encounters, negotiations, and in the long run, war as Earth's leaders grapple with the implications of this extraterrestrial presence. Ray Cummings skillfully weaves elements of interstellar diplomacy, fear, and the unknown into his storytelling. The story explores issues of human nature, xenophobia, and the complexities of verbal exchange with beings from a distinct world. "The White Invaders" is a testament to Cummings' ability to create suspenseful narratives that interact readers with questions about identification, prejudice, and the consequences of first touch with an alien species. It serves as a idea-frightening reminder of the demanding situations and opportunities that rise up while one of a kind civilizations collide, making it a undying addition to the technological know-how fiction genre.



American science fiction and comic book writer Ray Cummings (born Raymond King Cummings; August 30, 1887 - January 23, 1957) was born in the United States. From 1914 through 1919, he served as Thomas Edison's personal assistant and technical writer. The Girl in the Golden Atom, written by Sir Edwin W. Cummings and released in 1922, is regarded as one of his most important science fiction works. For The Girl in The Golden Atom, Cummings merged elements from The Diamond Lens by Fitz James O'Brien and The Time Machine by H. G. Wells. A collection of short tales that were released between 1919 and 1922 is his most well-known fictional work. The Girl in the Golden Atom by Ray Cummings first published in All-Story Magazine on March 15, 1919. Several of his stories were published in pulp magazines before being collected in books. It was a common misconception that Einstein or Feynman was the author of the adage "Time is what prevents everything from occurring at once." The Time Professor, one of his earlier works that was published in 1921, is cited as the instance where it was first used.
