Linc Hosler was sit\u00adting in a packed foot\u00adball sta\u00addi\u00adum when the Fly\u00ading Eyes appeared and cast their hyp\u00adnot\u00adic pow\u00ader over half the crowd. Thou\u00adsands of peo\u00adple sud\u00adden\u00adly began march\u00ading zom\u00adbie-like into the woods where they van\u00adished into a black pit.<\/p>\n

Linc used every resource of the Space Research Lab and the Nation\u00adal Guard to destroy the Eyes. But noth\u00ading could stop them, for they proved immune to bul\u00adlets and bombs.<\/p>\n

In des\u00adper\u00ada\u00adtion, Linc cap\u00adtured an Eye and found a way to com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adcate with it through his mind. He learned that radi\u00ada\u00adtion was fuel for the crea\u00adtures\u2019 lives. And then they issued their ter\u00adri\u00adble ulti\u00adma\u00adtum. Explode a series of atom bombs to sup\u00adply them with radi\u00ada\u00adtion or they would turn the world\u2019s pop\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion into mind\u00adless robots!<\/p>\n

It gave the world two har\u00adrow\u00ading choic\u00ades \u2014 self-destruc\u00adtion via fall\u00adout from the bombs or anni\u00adhi\u00adla\u00adtion via the sin\u00adis\u00adter Fly\u00ading Eyes!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Quite a ter\u00adri\u00adfy\u00ading dilem\u00adma: phys\u00adi\u00adcal death by fall\u00adout or men\u00adtal death by alien men\u00adtal dom\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion. If only the Fly\u00ading Eyes pos\u00adsessed some weak\u00adness that human sci\u00adence could exploit. But no phys\u00adi\u00adcal attacks seemed to hurt them. The alien Fly\u00ading Eyes, or Zines as they called them\u00adselves, were not lim\u00adit\u00aded to just man\u00adi\u00adfest\u00ading eyes as they can also man\u00adi\u00adfest limbs which appar\u00adent\u00adly could pass through sol\u00adid walls.<\/p>\n

But their immu\u00adni\u00adty to bombs and bul\u00adlets, plus their abil\u00adi\u00adty to pass through sol\u00adid objects and their need for radi\u00ada\u00adtion also explains their weak\u00adness: they are not tru\u00adly mat\u00adter as we know it, but most\u00adly of ener\u00adgy. And as crea\u00adtures of most\u00adly ener\u00adgy, they require raw ener\u00adgy to sur\u00advive. Such would allow them to trav\u00adel across space but they had to be wary when enter\u00ading the grav\u00adi\u00adty field of a plan\u00adet, because, as per Ein\u00adstein, ener\u00adgy can be affect\u00aded by grav\u00adi\u00adty. By the use of a project to con\u00adtrol grav\u00adi\u00adty, the Fly\u00ading Eyes are sub\u00adject\u00aded to a field of increased grav\u00adi\u00adty that caus\u00ades the struc\u00adtured ener\u00adgy that com\u00adpris\u00ades their forms to degrade, essen\u00adtial\u00adly killing them.<\/p>\n

Com\u00admen\u00adtary:<\/em> Author J (Joan) Hunter Hol\u00adly<\/a> wrote a num\u00adber of short nov\u00adels start\u00ading in the very late 1950\u2019s through the mid\u00addle 1970\u2019s, includ\u00ading anoth\u00ader, \u201cThe Mind Traders\u201d<\/em>, which is also in the Col\u00adlec\u00adtion.
