The first of the new meteors landed on the Earth in November 1940.
Then the first tragedy struck, a plane flying overhead entered the light from the meteor, then exploded.
Then came the publication of Professor Newland's theory of the Mercurian Light!
In effect Professor Newland declared that the curious astronomical phenomena of the previous November--the new "stars" observed, the two meteors that had fallen with their red and green light-fire--were all evidence of the existence of intelligent life on the planet Mercury.
The Fire People was first published in Argosy All-Story Weekly, October 21 and 28 and November, 4, 11, and 18, 1922.
Total Running Time (TRT): 8 hours, 5 min. Reading by Tomy Oliva.
