Nameless Something, The

di Murray Leinster (Autore)

Scott Miller, 2024

Bud Gregory wants only three things: to avoid trouble, avoid effort, and avoid work. As he wanders the highways with his family and a barely functional car, strange events follow him—cars perform impossible feats, accidents refuse to happen, and small wagers turn into uncanny victories. Meanwhile, the United States faces a silent, paralyzing threat. An unnamed foreign power pushes the world toward catastrophe without firing a shot. As cities empty and panic spreads, one government scientist realizes the nation’s survival may depend on the last man anyone would choose. Murray Leinster blends roadside Americana with global tension in a story where brilliance hides behind laziness. The science feels effortless, the danger feels real, and the humor is dry and human. Nothing unfolds the way authority expects it to. Murray Leinster was one of the foundational voices of modern science fiction. Writing across multiple decades, he helped define both hard science fiction and character-driven speculative storytelling. His work shaped the genre long before it had formal rules. Best known for combining rigorous ideas with everyday people, Leinster influenced generations of writers. His stories often ask what happens when extraordinary power falls into the most ordinary hands.
