Don's shotgun went up. "Bob, we'll hold our ground. Is it--is he armed, can you see?"
"No! Can't tell."
Armed! What nonsense! How could this wraith, this apparition, do us physical injury!
"If--if he gets too close, Bob, by God, I'll shoot. But if he's human, I wouldn't want to kill him."
The shape had stopped again. It was fifty feet from us now, and we could clearly see that it was a man, taller than normal. He stood now with folded arms--a man strangely garbed in what seemed a white, tight-fitting jacket and short trunks. On his head was a black skull cap surmounted by a helmet of strange design.
Don's voice suddenly echoed across the rocks.
"Who are you?"
The white figure gave no answer. It did not move.
"We see you. What do you want?" Don repeated.
Then it moved again. Partly toward us and partly sidewise, away from the sea. The swing of the legs was obvious. It was walking. But not upon the path, nor upon the solid surface of these Bermuda rocks! A surge of horror went through me at the realization. This was nothing human! It was walking on some other surface, invisible to us, but something solid beneath its own tread.

The White Invaders
This was the book that got me hooked on the so-called Radium Age of science fiction over a decade ago. Of course, sci-fi literature in this early part of the 20th century was as varied as it is today, so this novella is not representative of an entire era. But it does have all the elements, both positive and negative, that one can come to expect from sci-fi in the oughts through the early 30s, as well as the sense of paranoia and righteous condemnation of anything "other" that permeated the later Golden Era by the 40s and 50s. Because this is an American novella, not a European one, it is laced with the optimism and heroism of a nation that did not fight the "Great War" on its own soil, but which provided ample escapism and entertainment for a generation living through the "Great Depression."
If you are in the mood for a good old-fashioned alien invasion story, look no further.
