Haverford had checked it -for cracks, made sure the windows were caulked, and now kept constant -guard. He was alone. He could never tell when the alien invaders would -break through. - -_I must be nearly the last_, he thought. It was strange, this feeling -of being alone on Earth. But it was probably true. - -The aliens had come six days before. Haverford remembered picking up -their ultimatum on his ham set:-- - - EARTHMEN, THE LANTHAII ARE COMING. BEWARE! - -That was all it had been--an ominous warning, rather than a threat or -an order. The way the message had been worded left little doubt that -they were conquerors--conquerors from space. - -Haverford had been amused, at first. A solitary recluse, he had little -dealings with his fellow men, at least not in person. The costly ham -set that occupied nearly a third of his one-room flat was his sole -contact. Through radio he kept in regular touch with "friends" in -Yokohama and Buenos Aires, Texas and Oregon, while actually leaving the -confines of his own room at increasingly rare intervals. - -He had, naturally, picked up the Lanthaii messages on his set. There -wasn't an amateur operator in the world that hadn't detected them. That -was when he began to feel it wasn't a joke. - -Reports came in. Dazo Osaki, the Japanese contact, reported hearing the -strange message; Lionel Bentham in Sussex picked it up also, as did -Miguel Bartirone in Buenos Aires. EARTHMEN, THE LANTHAII ARE COMING. -BEWARE! Someone--there was no doubt of it--was beaming the message at -the entire Earth from _outside_. - -And then the Lanthaii had come. - -Haverford, pacing his room nervously, remembered the day of -their landing. He had been talking to Bentham, the Englishman, a -slow-speaking, phlegmatic sort. - -"--so I mean to write to my man in Parliament, y'know, and ask him to -plump for the legislation. It'll be a great boon for ham operators -if--Lord! What's that! _What's that?_" - -Haverford had stared at the transmitter in shocked surprise as -Bentham's voice was replaced with the screeching of static, then -some other sounds he did not understand, followed by a quick, sharp, -repulsive clicking, and-- - -Silence. - -"Bentham! Bentham!" - -Silence. - - * * * * * - -That had been the beginning. The Lanthaii had landed, all right. The -alien invaders were sweeping the world. - -Haverford got the details from a news broadcast. They had come in -silvery ships, hundreds of them. Thousands. - -"You should have seen it," Bartirone told him, speaking in his accented -English. "All over Buenos Aires, in midday--suddenly, the sky was -blotted out. Ships. Silvery ships. They seemed small. They started to -land." - -"Have you seen the invaders yourself?" - -"No. Not yet. They haven't come this far west in the city yet. But--" - -The Argentinan's voice stopped. Haverford listened numbly, knowing -despite himself exactly what had happened. The invaders had come. - -He rose, looked around his room. He had enough food in the freezer -and on the shelves to last for months. Haverford was a frugal man; by -buying in quantity, he saved precious cash that was used for augmenting -the radio set. - -He decided to hide in his home--to seal it from the outside world, to -wait. Perhaps the invaders would be driven back; perhaps Earth would -fall. But he would be safe. He would not be killed in the war of -conquest. - -He made sure there was no way his room could be entered. Just as he was -about to nail fast the bolt that held the door shut, he heard knocking. - -Three sharp knocks. Haverford leaped for the bolt, drove it home, hung -tensely against the door. - -"Who is it?" he asked. - -"Mrs. Kelley," came the reply. - -He almost fainted from relief. He had expected the aliens--and it was -only the landlady. Cautiously, he threw open the door. - -"Yes?" - -"Have you heard, Mr. Haverford? About the invasion, I mean?" - -"Yes, I've heard. What of it?" - -"I just thought I'd tell you," she said, shrugging. "I know you don't -go out much or read the papers, and I thought maybe--" - -"I've heard over the radio," he told her stiffly. "Is there anything -else I can do for you?" - -"No--not at all." - -"Very well, then. If anyone comes to see me, you can tell them I'm not -looking for visitors." - -"Yes, Mr. Haverford." - -She disappeared into the darkness of the corridor. Haverford slammed -the door, shot the bolt home, nailed it fast. So far as the outside -world was concerned, he was as good as dead. - -He set to work sealing himself in. - - * * * * * - -Two days passed--two days in which gradually, one by one, his contacts -here and there over the globe were silenced. Bentham had gone first, -then Bartirone. His two Japanese friends were gone now too; the Orient -was overrun by the invaders. South America as well. - -Word was coming from the States of alien advances. New York was -in Lanthaii hands, and no broadcasts were being made from there. -The United Nations delegates had fled to an unnamed city and were -continuing to talk--to discuss the situation, no doubt, Haverford -thought bitterly. - -But talk would do no good. Soon the entire world would be in alien -hands, and there would be no stopping them. None at all. - -Texas went. Oregon. The aliens were obviously working their way toward -the center of North America: so far Chicago had reported no alien -attacks, but United States forces in the seacoast states had been -driven back. - -Haverford ate his frozen foods sparingly, and spent long hours at the -radio. - -One by one his contacts were snuffed out. He ran down the lists in his -code book, calling people he hadn't buzzed in years, just trying to -hear human voices again. - -"Come in, W3XFA. Come in, W3XFA." - -No answer. None at all. - -The aliens held all of Asia, most of Europe; he got a brief response -from Belgium on the third day, but was unable to pick up the signal an -hour later. An underground worker in an Iron Curtain country called him -that afternoon--and then he went. The marauders from space covered the -globe. - -Haverford looked at his map. They were working in an ever-tightening -ring. Soon they would be in Chicago. Then the strength of his -improvised fortress would be sorely tested. - -By the fourth day, he was down to just one contact--a man in upper -Illinois, a ham operator out of a Chicago suburb. - -"You there, Haverford?" - -"I'm here. What do you hear?" - -"Nothing. The aliens are everywhere. I can see them from my window, -swarming in the streets. They've won, all right. Mankind is defeated." - -"You can see them, eh? Must be a ghastly sight." Haverford's own window -faced the back. - -"It is. There must be millions of the ugly beasts, and not a human -being in sight. Haverford, who ever expected it would come like this?" - -"No one did. No one ever dreamed of it." - -"They must breed fantastically rapidly if they can send an invasion -force of this size. Imagine it, Haverford--a living tide of Lanthaii -spilling out from their home world, covering all of the universe and--" - -"Yes? I hear you," Haverford said. - -"Something outside my door. It's _them_, Haverford! It's them!" - -The set went dead. Haverford stared dully at it for a moment, then -turned it off. There was no one else to talk to. He was alone. - -He was the last survivor. Unless there was someone else, cowering in a -skyscraper basement somewhere, hiding in a thick field of corn-- - -But the Lanthaii were methodical killers. They had set out to -exterminate the human race, and-- - -Haverford stiffened. What was that scrabbling, scratching noise in the -hall? It sounded like-- - -He knew what it was. The Lanthaii were coming. They were wiping out the -stragglers now, the few like Haverford who had remained alive. They -were wiping the Earth clean of life, leaving it bare and ready for them. - -The scraping at the door grew louder. The bolt strained; the hinges -started to give. Haverford watched coldly, knowing that he hadn't done -the job well enough. They were going to be able to get through. - -A dark line appeared down the center of his door. It began to crack. It -yielded. - -Haverford turned frantically to his radio set, desperately sending out -a call for help. But of course nobody heard him, nobody answered. He -was alone and he knew it. Except for _them_. - -He wheeled to face them, to go down fighting. He looked in horror at -them--insects--huge, ugly, and alien. They came on. He backed to the -wall. And in the last moment as time seemed to stand still he became -aware of an insignificant detail, laughable, yet tragically ironic. -A fly buzzed around his head. An earth fly. A pitiful creature, a -nothing--an insect. - -The fly lighted on the floor a few feet ahead of him, crawling slowly -toward the alien horde pouring through the door. And the aliens broke -their ranks, passing around the fly, almost respectfully, he thought. -Or was it paternally?... - -Then they reached him. - -*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK HOMECOMING HORDE *** - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the -United States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.
