Davis is a science fiction novella written in the early 1950s. The narrative follows the perilous adventure of two alien beings, Ekrado and Ronaro, who escape their damaged spaceship and crash into an oceanic planet. The story explores themes of survival, communication, and the quest for assistance in the face of impending destruction.  The plot begins with Ekrado and Ronaro evading a deadly attack from a pursuing enemy cruiser, ultimately abandoning their ship and crash-landing in Earth's oceans. Once submerged, they seek intelligent life on the planet to relay urgent news about an alien invasion threatening their home world. Despite several encounters with aquatic creatures that fail to demonstrate intelligence, they eventually detect a metal object signifying human presence. In their attempt to make contact, their lifeboat is tragically destroyed by a depth charge from a U.S. Navy destroyer before any communication can occur. The story concludes with a dark sense of irony, as the aliens’ plight remains unknown and unacknowledged, underscoring the challenges of communication across different life forms and environments.
