The Day That It Came From Up There

About this ebook
‘On the other side of those bushes, in a clearing, is a . . . Flying Saucer . . .’
It’s the dawn of the atomic age. Computers have not yet been invented, and a cure for cancer has just been wiped from the blackboard. Earth is being invaded by Martians in flying saucers.
While the military want to atomic everything in sight, it’s up to egg-head . . . er, scientist Murdoch to talk to the Martians and stop them turning everyone into Jell-o.
This satirical story is written in the tradition of B-Grade stories, complete with all the stereotypes, creativity and effects – flaws and all.
The characters are purely fictitious. Any similarities with any person, living or dead, are entirely coincidental.
The story is not meant to offend. If you may be offended, please don’t download it.
