Summary "The Nobles Are Coming" by Gene Cross is a science fiction horror story written during the mid-20th century. The narrative unfolds on Mars, where the protagonist, an archeologist named Ross, encounters a fearsome creature known as a "Noble" while exploring a cave. The story blends elements of suspense and terror, capturing the reader's imagination with the looming presence of the Nobles, mysterious and deadly beings that haunt the Martian landscape. In this chilling tale, Ross finds himself isolated in the Martian wilderness after his vehicle breaks down. Seeking refuge in a cave, he meets J. J. Abrogado, a prospector equally terrified of the Nobles—regal and monstrous creatures that seem to prey on humans. As the tension builds, Ross reflects on the missing men who have encountered the Nobles, one of whom he describes as "peeled" when found. Their conversation is interrupted by the ominous sounds of the "nightrunners," suggesting a deeper threat. In a moment of desperation, Ross resorts to using a weapon, inadvertently revealing a fallen Noble in the cave, emphasizing the mysterious and dangerous connection between the humans and the creatures that populate this alien world. The story culminates in an eerie revelation, leaving readers with a sense of unease about the enigmatic Nobles and their intentions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
