Summary "The Shadow-Gods" by Vaseleos Garson is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century, specifically in the period of the 1940s. The book revolves around the themes of crisis and survival as humanity faces an extraterrestrial threat from the Mercurians. The narrative follows Space Commander Curt Wing as he navigates through space warfare and the impending doom posed by mysterious shadowy entities that threaten Earth. The story begins with Commander Curt Wing and his crew engaging in a space battle against the Mercurians, only for them to be called back to Earth due to an emergency signal indicating a catastrophic event unfolding on their home planet. Upon their return, they discover a pulsating blue force field, dubbed the "blue flower," engulfing what was once New York City, which harbors shadowy beings causing destruction. Undeterred by despair, Wing recalls the wisdom and bravery of his comrade Dead-Eye, who perished while fighting the shadows with an ancient firearm. This memory sparks Wing’s intellect to devise a plan, advocating for the use of outdated weapons, believing that concentrated fire could break through the shadows’ defenses. As Wing rallies Earth's forces, they embark on a desperate struggle against these shadow-beings, with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance. The climax builds towards a merging of ingenuity, hope, and sacrifice as the characters confront their ultimate nemesis. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
