Space War #5

When mysterious flying saucers begin appearing over Earth, a startling visitor from the Moon reveals a chilling truth: an alien force has been broadcasting a "Ray of Hate" that sows distrust, conflict, and chaos among humanity as part of an invasion plan. With help from Earth's military, this defector must build a weapon powerful enough to turn the invaders' own technology against them and stop the conquest before it begins.

Prof. Scanlon challenges the official moon expedition with an audacious claim: he'll reach the lunar surface first using teleportation instead of a spaceship. While a massive rocket carries the first human passengers to the moon in 1960, the eccentric professor employs his atomic-molecular device and mental forces to attempt the impossible journey. When the expedition lands and finds no sign of him, they're ready to dismiss his boasts—until Scanlon produces photographic evidence that proves he arrived earlier and explored areas they never reached.

A scientist and his colleague complete humanity's first time machine, and the traveler journeys back to the dawn of creation—but a moment of panic in that primordial world may have consequences far beyond what either man imagines. When Cal returns, he discovers the machine has been destroyed, leaving him to grapple with whether his brief encounter in Earth's distant past could ripple forward to change everything they know.

Axon, a respected teacher from Venus, boldly theorizes that Earth might harbor intelligent life—a heretical belief that gets him tried and sentenced to a dangerous one-way journey to our planet as punishment. Stripped of both certainty and supplies, he survives the harrowing descent through Earth's atmosphere and ventures into an unknown landscape, determined to prove whether his conviction was right. What he finds in those caverns will reshape not just his fate, but Venus's view of our world for millennia to come.
