Sub-Mariner (Newton, 1976?) ([1976?]) — Target Earth
Synopsis
An alien lands on Earth with the intent of sizing up possible resistance to an invasion force. If the scout does not return within 48 hours, plans for the invasion will be called off. The scout finds the humans puny as potential warriors and is able to lift locomotives off the ground. He laughs as he thinks this will be the easiest conquest ever and heads back to his ship where he finds that it has sunk out of sight in the bog.
