Summary: "Earthmen Die Hard!" by Richard O. Lewis is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The book explores the theme of human resilience and adaptability in the face of extraterrestrial threats, weaving a narrative about a contaminated Earth and the attempts of alien inspectors to eliminate the threat. The story centers on two alien characters, Inspector Ryt and his subordinate Krembyl, as they grapple with the failure to properly decontaminate Earth, which has become populated despite prior attempts to eradicate the Earthmen. Ryt's growing frustration with Krembyl's repeated failures to manage the contamination leads to a frantic urgency to act before the situation spirals out of control. Meanwhile, on the human side, a couple is reveling in the hope of escaping the turmoil of their home planet, unaware of the lurking dangers and the actions of their extraterrestrial overseers. As the alien inspectors devise a drastic plan to eliminate the human presence, the narrative builds tension and explores themes of survival, bravery, and the consequences of underestimating one's enemy.
