Ten From Infinity by Paul W. Fairman
"Ten From Infinity" by Paul W. Fairman is a science-fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The book begins with a mysterious incident involving a pedestrian in New York City who is struck by a cab, setting off a chain of events that leads to the revelation that Earth has been invaded by extraterrestrial beings—specifically, ten androids with unusual biological traits, including the ability to have two functioning hearts. The characters include
an intern named Frank Corson, who becomes intrigued by one of these beings and finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy. The opening of the novel introduces the unfolding mystery surrounding the pedestrian accident and the subsequent discovery of an alien being with two hearts in a hospital. As Frank Corson contemplates his abnormal patient, he becomes increasingly concerned about the implications of this anomaly. The narrative also follows Les King, a photographer, who is drawn into a quest involving the identities of the androids. Tension builds as Corson begins to question his own reality when he encounters a man he believed to be one of his patients, illustrating the enigma and confusion that permeate the story. This initial setup effectively lays the groundwork for a complex tale of alien life and human intrigue. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
