Explore "Nobody Saw the Ship" by Murray Leinster on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
_It was only a tiny scout ship from somewhere / beyond the stars; only one alien creature occupied / it. But the ship's mission spelled life to its / fellow creatures and death to all living creatures / on Earth. And against the super-science of the raider / stood one terrified old man and his dog._
The landing of the Qul-En ship, a tiny craft no more than fifteen feet / in diameter, went completely unnoticed, as its operator intended. It / was armed, of course, but its purpose was not destruction. If this / ship, whose entire crew consisted of one individual, were successful / in its mission then a great ship would come, wiping out the entire / population of cities before anyone suspected the danger.
