The Day the World Stopped by Stanton A. Coblentz
Starting in 1929 Coblentz wrote dozens of short SF stories for the SF pulp magazines. During that 35 year period he also wrote about 20 SF novels. Though never one of the big hitters his stories were right for the time.

This is one of his short novels about Earth putting itself in danger in the Cold War. Maybe inept aliens can stop us from killing ourselves.

The Day the World Stopped by Stanton A. Coblentz
I listened to this as part of [b:A Galaxy Trilogy: Star Ways, Druid's World and The Day the World Stopped|1277451|A Galaxy Trilogy Star Ways, Druid's World and The Day the World Stopped|Poul Anderson|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1347698650s/1277451.jpg|1266428]. I'm going to review each book individually & put a link to the review in the overall trilogy. My overall review is here:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/edit/1277451

This was awful. I think it was supposed to be somewhat funny, but it failed miserably. It was just hokey & dumb. I recognize the author's name, but can't recall anything else I've read by him. I won't go looking for more.… (more)

When the birds fly south by Stanton Arthur Coblentz
An overlooked classic. One of the best lost world fantasies.
