Night of the Saucers, by Eando Binder
(Five Star Paperback, 1972)

“You mean they’re planning to blow up the Pentagon?”
“Yep, they’re going to blow up everything.”
“They’re going to blow up the Vatican…?”
“They’re going to blow up EVERYTHING.”

How indeed!
I was going to say “it’s not as much fun as it sounds” just as a natural reflex action, but actually, unlike every other Five Star Paperback I own, it turns out ‘Night of the Saucers’ is kind of a blast. It’s really simple-minded good fun, like if someone wrote a straight up novelisation of a whacked out AIP b-movie.
I’ve scanned some choice examples of "Eando Binder"s typically two-fisted prose for your enjoyment below:
