| Summary |
"One of Three" by Wesley Long is a science fiction novel written in the late 1940s. The story begins with Ed Bronson, an electronics engineer, who inadvertently discovers a means of communication with another world through experimental work with a phosphor material. The narrative suggests themes of parallel realities, scientific exploration, and potential conflicts between worlds, as Bronson learns that the woman he hears may be associated with an ominous atomic fire threatening their existence. The opening of the novel sets up an intriguing scenario where Bronson's experiments lead him to receive messages from a woman named Miss Carlson, who reveals a dangerous situation occurring in her world—a world where an atomic explosion has created a perpetual sunrise. As Bronson attempts to make contact, he quickly discovers that otherworldly invaders may be seeking to infiltrate his reality, leading to a sense of urgency and tension. The narrative is rich with scientific curiosity and the implications of technology as characters navigate the complexities of interworld communication and the impending threat of invasion. This sets a compelling stage for both personal conflict and broader existential stakes. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
