"And Then There Were None" read by John Lothe johnlothe.wordpress.com/ www.youtube.com/user/JohnLothe en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Frank_Russell www.corbettreport.com/ Eric Frank Russell (January 6, 1905 – February 28, 1978) was a British author best known for his science fiction novels and short stories. Much of his work was first published in the United States, in John W. Campbell's Astounding Science Fiction and other pulp magazines. Russell also wrote horror fiction for Weird Tales and non-fiction articles on Fortean topics. Up to 1955 several of his stories were published under pseudonyms, at least Duncan H. Munro and Niall(e) Wilde.[1] -- www.amazon.com/Then-There-Were-None/dp/B001E2R4HK The story is set sometime in the 27th century. Four hundred years ago the Blieder-drive engine was invented making faster-than-light travel possible. Within a few years hundreds of ships packed full with colonists had left Earth. Many worlds were populated - often by like minded and eccentric colonists. Now the universe is believed to hold an estimated 1600 newly populated planets, and Earth believes it ought to rule them all. A Terran battleship with 2000 soldiers, bureaucrats, and an Imperial Ambassador land on an unknown and under-populated planet with the intention of making a claim on what they consider their own. However things begin to go wrong for the invading force almost immediately and it is discovered that the locals posses an unstoppable secret weapon.
