Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Invader From Infinity" by George A. Whittington is a science fiction novel written in the early to mid-20th century. The story revolves around a fierce space battle between an Earth ship and an unknown alien craft that poses a significant threat to the Solar System. It explores themes of bravery, tactical ingenuity, and the psychological toll of warfare in an interstellar context. The plot follows Commander Jon McPartland and his crew as they engage in a desperate fight against an enigmatic spherical enemy ship equipped with a deadly beam that penetrates their defenses. Initially retreating to regroup, McPartland's ingenuity leads him to devise a plan to counter the alien's weapon by using their own electromagnetic tactics. The tension escalates as the human crew works diligently to outsmart the enemy, culminating in a fierce battle where they ultimately destroy the alien vessel. Through vivid descriptions and fast-paced action, Whittington captures the essence of space warfare while highlighting the resilience of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming odds.
