comment |
After the End: Eric Frank Russell's "Dear Devil": The story takes place after a nuclear and biological holocaust, when humanity is reduced to isolated pockets of survivors. A benign Martian visitor, equipped with a flying sled and a food machine, is able to gather many of the survivors together and relaunch civilization over the course of several years. By the time more Martians arrive, the humans worship the "devil" as their hero and savior. |

comment |
Benevolent Alien Invasion: Damon Knight's "To Serve Man": Famously subverted because the aliens turn out to be not-so-benevolent after all, despite the fact that the aliens offer Earth the benefits of their science freely, and even offer tours of their planet to groups of earthlings. |
