Summary: "Earthmen Ask No Quarter!" by Fox B. Holden is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of an alien invasion of Earth, centering on themes of surrender, resistance, and the human spirit in the face of overwhelming odds. The book explores the desperate measures taken by humanity's defenders as they confront a technologically superior enemy. The story primarily follows General Taylor and Colonel Geofferey Steele, along with various military and civilian characters, as they navigate the fallout from an unexpected invasion. After the New United Nations Joint Chiefs of Staff reluctantly decide to surrender to the aliens to prevent bloodshed, Colonel Steele finds himself questioning the orders and the fate of Earth's inhabitants. Fueled by a desire to resist, he leads a small contingent of J-88 fighter jets against the alien armada in a final stand. The climax reveals not only the dire circumstances of humankind but also the bravery and sacrifice displayed by those who refuse to go down without a fight. As the narrative unfolds, it ultimately examines themes of hope and resistance, exploring what it truly means to stand up against tyranny. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
