Attention Saint Patrick

Murray Leinster

Humour, Science-Fiction & Fantasy

Attention Saint Patrick is a science fiction novella by Murray Leinster, written in the early 1960s. Set on the alien colony of Eire, which mirrors Irish culture and folklore, the story follows President O'Hanrahan as he confronts an infestation of troublesome creatures called dinies that threaten the colony's survival. The narrative humorously incorporates St. Patrick as a godlike figure, exploring themes of mythology, cultural identity, and the absurdities of colonial life. The arrival of a skeptical Earth committee chairman complicates matters, leading to a comedic clash of ideologies and a young woman's innovative solution to their crisis.
