| Summary |
"Beyond The Thunder" by H. B. Hickey is a science fiction novel written in the late 1940s. The book tackles the theme of alien invasion, exploring humanity's struggle for survival against an extraterrestrial threat after the catastrophic destruction of New York City. It merges elements of adventure and suspense as it dives into the protagonist's quest to confront an unknown menace that has harnessed an incredible weapon capable of erasing entire cities from existence. The narrative follows Case Damon, a rocket-jockey who is on his honeymoon when he receives an urgent call to mobilize after New York is obliterated from above. As he uncovers evidence that the attack originated from a point in space between Mars and Venus, he vows to find the source of this terrifying threat. Throughout his journey, he encounters allies like Cranly, navigates through layers of intrigue involving secret dealings, and ultimately battles the treacherous forces aligned with an alien commander named Yuna. After infiltrating the alien city and learning the secrets behind the attacks, Case races against time to thwart another impending disaster. Ultimately, the story culminates in an explosive finale and promises a reunion with his beloved wife, leaving readers with a sense of adventure and triumph against the odds.
