The White Invaders
Buch
Don's shotgun went up. Bob, we'll hold our ground. Is it--is he armed, can you see? No! Can't tell. Armed! What nonsense! How could this wraith, this apparition, do us physical injury! If--if he gets too close, Bob, by God, I'll shoot. But if he's human, I wouldn't want to kill him. The shape had stopped again.

Don's shotgun went up. Bob, we'll hold our ground. Is it--is he armed, can you see? No! Can't tell. Armed! What nonsense! How could this wraith, this apparition, do us physical injury! If--if he gets too close, Bob, by God, I'll shoot. But if he's human, I wouldn't want to kill him. The shape had stopped again. It was fifty feet from us now, and we could clearly see that it was a man, taller than normal. He stood now with folded arms--a man strangely garbed in what seemed a white, tight-fitting jacket and short trunks. On his head was a black skull cap surmounted by a helmet of strange design. Don's voice suddenly echoed across the rocks. Who are you? The white figure gave no answer. It did not move. We see you. What do you want? Don repeated. Then it moved again. Partly toward us and partly sidewise, away from the sea. The swing of the legs was obvious. It was walking. But not upon the path, nor upon the solid surface of these Bermuda rocks! A surge of horror went through me at the realization. This was nothing human! It was walking on some other surface, invisible to us, but something solid beneath its own tread.

Über den Autor
Ray Cummings (byname of Raymond King Cummings; 1887 - 1957) was an American author of science fiction, rated one of the founding fathers of the science fiction pulp genre. He was born in New York City and died in Mount Vernon, New York. Cummings worked with Thomas Edison as a personal assistant and technical writer from 1914 to 1919. His most highly regarded work was the novel The Girl in the Golden Atom published in 1922, which was a consolidation of a short story by the same name published in 1919 (where Cummings combined the idea of Fitz James O'Brien's The Diamond Lens with H. G. Wells's The Time Machine) and a sequel, The People of the Golden Atom, published in 1920. His career resulted in some 750 novels and short stories, using also the pen names Ray King, Gabrielle Cummings, and Gabriel Wilson.
