Tama of the light country

In the summer of 1950, a remote girls’ camp in Maine becomes the scene of a terrifying midnight raid. Ten young women vanish, several people are dead, and the wounded survivors can offer no clear explanation. With the incident suppressed by authorities, rumors spread that the attackers may not be human—or even from Earth.

Newsgatherer Jack Dean is summoned from New York by his daredevil pilot friend, Jimmy Turk, to investigate the biggest story of the year. Their flight into the wilderness leads them toward a baffling case involving strange evidence, conflicting accounts, and a threat that may reach far beyond one isolated camp. As Jack follows the trail, familiar ideas about aviation, science, and the limits of the known world begin to give way to startling possibilities. Fast-moving and inventive, this classic science-fiction adventure combines investigative suspense with aerial excitement and an ominous mystery from the skies.
