"Invaders from the Infinite" by John W. Campbell is a science fiction novel written in the early to mid 20th century. The story follows a trio of brilliant scientists—Arcot, Wade, and Morey—who embark on an intergalactic mission to defend Earth against a ruthless alien race known as the Thessians. As they traverse various worlds, they face the escalating threat of these invaders who are determined to conquer Earth and other inhabited worlds in the universe. The opening of the novel introduces us to Pilot Russ Evans of the Rocket Squad Patrol, who, along with his assistant Murphy, is stationed on a seemingly uneventful patrol in deep space. Their banter provides insights into the everyday life of space pilots, but the narrative quickly shifts as they receive alarming visions of a strange ship with malevolent occupants. This early moment foreshadows the larger conflict at play, highlighting the themes of exploration and the unexpected dangers that lurk in the cosmos. The story sets the stage for a grand adventure filled with innovative technology, complex characters, and the impending galactic conflict, making it an engaging read for science fiction enthusiasts.
