About this book
Wandl the Invader by Ray Cummings rockets listeners into a 1930s pulp vision of cosmic danger and daring exploration. When interplanetary commerce links Earth and an ancient Martian civilization, astronomers discover a tenth world — a rogue planet barreling inward from interstellar space. Its arrival upends astronautic calculations and life on both worlds, for Wandl is not a barren rock but a manned, living world with minds, monsters, and a mysterious purpose beyond astronomical accident.
Blending speculative science and rip‑roaring adventure, Ray Cummings’ classic science fiction tale captures the energy of the pulp era while probing themes of first contact, technological hubris, and the fragile balance between commerce and conflict in a crowded Solar System. The narrative crackles with period details: early rocketry, planetary trade routes, and the anxious calculations of scientists confronting the unknown.
Ideal for fans of classic science fiction, space opera, and vintage pulp storytelling, this audiobook is a perfecto choice for listeners who enjoy brisk, imaginative plots and atmospheric retro futurism. Tune in for a fast-paced, thought-provoking journey that shows how early 20th‑century writers imagined the vast, unpredictable reaches beyond Earth.
