About This Book

The narrative follows Haverford, a solitary ham radio operator who, after receiving an unsettling extraterrestrial broadcast announcing the Lanthaii, seals himself in his flat to ride out a worldwide invasion. He monitors radio contacts as they are cut off one by one, conserves food, and fortifies his door, briefly reassured by a landlady's visit before resuming his isolation. As reports confirm the invaders' sweep and his last human links vanish, mounting evidence of the creatures' methodical advance culminates in unnerving noises at his doorway, turning enforced solitude into imminent danger.
