The Falling Torch is a 1959 science fiction novel by Algis Budrys.
[edit] Plot summary
The novel is about a group of freedom fighters who attempt the nearly hopeless task of liberating planet Earth from the grip of a race of alien invaders. The story has obvious overtones of freeing the author's homeland (Lithuania) from its Soviet occupiers.
