Summary: "Operation Terror" by Murray Leinster is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around an unusual event that occurs when a mysterious object descends from space, disrupting the lives of a group of surveyors and construction workers in Boulder Lake National Park. The protagonist, Lockley, becomes embroiled in the chaos as he navigates the alarming circumstances surrounding the appearance of this extraterrestrial object, while also grappling with his personal feelings for a fellow worker, Jill Holmes. The opening of the book introduces Lockley, who is working to establish baseline measurements for a park map when he becomes aware of a radar anomaly reported from Alaska. As Lockley goes about his mundane day, the news of an incoming object from space begins to escalate into a frenzy, prompting military alerts and widespread panic. As his colleague Vale reports strange occurrences linked to the object's landing, Lockley faces the prospect of non-human creatures emerging from the ship, putting Jill and others in potential danger. This suspenseful setup merges elements of a sci-fi thriller and personal drama, establishing a tense atmosphere where the fate of humanity rests upon understanding the intentions of alien visitors.
