Black Thursday Summary
|
"Black Thursday" was first written in 1960, but the plot is timeless. It is a September 11
kind of story where the rug is pulled out from every American's feet. The United States is
without warning, attacked by an alien race from fifteen other star systems. Not only does E not
equal MC Squared, but the lid to government UFO secrecy is rudely torn off. The Earth experiences
a sneak attack by millions of extraterrestrial child soldiers. Two big ships are shot down over
the Chesapeake Bay by the United States
Air Force. Fourteen thousand alien child soldiers are killed in a collosal and bloody midair
collision. Most of the victims are between the ages of six and fourteen of our years. The US
president declairs war. It is Thursday, October 4th and the turn of the 21st century. Black
Thursday winds up being the bloodiest war in American history, even bloodier than the American
Civil War. Most of these alien children are draftees. The story is told from the point of view of one of the alien child soldiers who is the sole survivor of the midair collision over the Chesepeake Bay. It is a coming of age story of a young alien girl on the edge of adolescence. The young teen is an extraterrestrial Anne Frank. About the Author: Lawrence Edward was born a month before the Roswell Crash. She was affected by Sputnik and the Russian space dog, Laika, and the beginning of the space age. Miss Edward was only ten when all this happened. At age 13 Miss Edward was deeply sffected by the news of a midair collision over New York City where she lived. That was the day "Black Thursday" was born. She wrote the entire book in one day, December 16, 1960. Miss Edward read a lot when she was young. She considers authors Eleanor Cameron, John Schealer, and Rod Serling to be big influences in her young life when she reachedd her early teens. |
