Homecoming Horde

When the last radio signals go silent, Haverford believes he is the final human being left on Earth. A lonely amateur operator who has spent years retreating from the world, he is the last person anyone would expect to survive an alien invasion. Yet as the Lanthaii descend in silvery ships and sweep across the globe with terrifying speed, his sealed room becomes a fragile fortress against extinction. One by one, voices vanish from the airwaves. Friends in distant countries fall silent. Cities are overrun. Nations collapse. And with every passing hour, Haverford's isolation becomes more absolute—and more unbearable. But being alone is one thing. Being hunted is another. In Homecoming Horde, Robert Silverberg delivers a taut, atmospheric science-fiction nightmare about invasion, survival, and the chilling psychology of being the last man on Earth. Claustrophobic, suspenseful, and strikingly ironic, this unforgettable story turns a simple amateur radio into a lifeline between civilization and oblivion. As the enemy closes in, Haverford faces a final, devastating truth: in a universe of towering alien forces, even the smallest creature can reveal the greatest weakness.
