Day of the Beasts

by John S. Glasby, John E. Muller

The aliens came from a distant star - and a distant time

People of the future, they couldn't be destroyed in the present. The only hope of conquering them was by traveling forward in time.

So one brave man set off on his dangerous mission into another age, with one great question in his mind. Even if he could find the right time zone, could he destroy the aliens?

Could the future be changed?

Reviews

[Greg · Rating 3 out of 5]

A real missed opportunity. Has elements of Godzilla and the other atomic age monsters that are vividly exciting. Then loses itself in the usual do-it-all scientist heroics. More monsters please!

[Carlos West · Rating 1 out of 5]

Readable, but only just. Slow and boring. Could have been edited down to a short story, and would have worked better. Read it only if you are a time travel fanatic! Singular oddity: no female characters.
