Disguised Earthmen invade an alien planet — on a strange and secret mission
War on Wh'Gralb

Enemy rockets roared toward their targets ... and floated gently into an uninhabited swamp.
A cloud of poison gas billowed over the troops ... and they all fell peacefully asleep for eight hours.

What a hell of a way to fight a war. No one was winning, no one was losing. A soldier or civilian couldn't get himself killed if he tried.... And the planet of Wh'Gralb, noted for the ferocity of its wars, was going out of its collective mind trying to find out WHY.
