Bert Redmond drives his battered flivver into a sleepy Ramapo village on the strength of Joan's letter, into a cross-roads hamlet holding a doorway between worlds, and the Wanderer of Infinity.

Harl Vincent's 1933 story is a rousing first-contact space opera. Vivid, imaginative golden-age pulp. Read it for a colorful yarn of interdimensional menace erupting in a quiet American village, where a lone traveler between the worlds fights a cosmic invasion, in the wonder-and-peril style of the classic scientifiction magazines.
