The introduction by Dennis Herrick adds greatly to the experience.
Published by bernie4444 , 1 month ago
If it were not for Dennis Herrick's interest in first-contact Invasion books, this reprint of the 1940 classic titled "Farewell to the Master" would not be available. Hopefully, other people will follow suit with more reprints from different genres.
As with most people, I have already seen the 1951 movie version with Michael Rennie titled “ The Day the Earth Stood Still”. In this case, I had also seen the 2008 movie version by the same name with Keanu Reeves. I also read the "Tale Retold" book by Arthur Tofte. Each version has its unique message and ending, as does the original story.
A space-time ship or container suddenly materializes in Washington, D.C., after waiting an excruciatingly long time, two beings emerge, one looks human, named Klaatu, the other a robot named (surprise) Gnut. After a brief introduction, Klaatu is dispatched.
A reporter, Cliff Sutherland, is suspicious of the robot that has never moved since Klaatu's demise. He suspects a sinister plot. Should we also? Read the book and find out, but whatever you do, do not read the last page first.
