Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Invaders" by Murray Leinster is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around a character named Coburn, who finds himself embroiled in escalating tensions involving a Bulgarian raid and an alien invasion in Greece. As he navigates through chaos, he becomes aware of a deeper threat: the existence of beings from outer space who can impersonate humans, raising the stakes of their conflict. The opening of "The Invaders" introduces Coburn, who is in a small Greek village when panic erupts due to the arrival of soldiers. His curiosity leads him to discover that these soldiers are part of a covert military operation, but soon he learns of an unearthly twist when he encounters Dillon, a journalist who may not be what he seems. As Coburn's suspicions grow, a chilling revelation occurs: Dillon is revealed to be an alien masquerading in a human form, prompting Coburn to question the nature of those around him. This creates an unsettling atmosphere filled with suspense, as the reader is drawn into Coburn's desperate fight for survival against the backdrop of a potential war that may not just be between nations, but against invaders from beyond Earth.
