The Invaders

In the rugged hills north of Salonika, surveyor Coburn finds a tranquil Greek village turned into a frantic scramble. A shrill alarm erupts, and villagers flee toward the mountains as a dark, snake‑like column of uniformed soldiers rolls out of the peaks. Alone and breathless, Coburn darts into a narrow defile, the sound of distant boots echoing behind him, while a strange voice warns him to turn back.

He soon meets an American girl on a donkey and a weather‑worn British correspondent, both speaking English in a landscape where none is expected. Their uneasy confidence hints at a larger, covert operation that intertwines local unrest with something far beyond ordinary war. As Coburn tries to make sense of the advancing force, the story promises swashbuckling chase, vivid characters, and a mystery that stretches from the Balkans to the stars.
