The Genesis Machine

Drafted to work on defense projects, mathematical physicist Brad Clifford defies his superiors to bring about world unification and teams up with a maverick fellow scientist to build a machine capable of neutralizing all weapons. Reprint. Brad Clifford's theory was just applied mathematics — but its implications were too hot for the frozen minds of his superiors. So they buried it — and him — under wraps of secrecy.
Then Aubrey Philipsz, iconoclast and fellow genius, appeared on the scene to build the Genesis Machine Clifford's theory made possible.
Suddenly, all weapons seemed useless before the previously unimagined power of the Genesis Machine. It could wreck a world or save it — and the men who ruled that world on a path of disaster now fought to gain control of this new force.
But Clifford and Philipsz had another goal, another dream. They were reaching for the stars!
"In the grand tradition of the classic super-science stories, but with more exciting science and with better writing, too. What more can anyone want?" — Isaac Asimov
Brad Clifford, a mathematical physicist, has been drafted in to work on defence projects, but his theories are too wild for his superiors to take seriously. Now Brad and a fellow maverick have built a machine that makes all weapons impotent and can either wreck the world or save it.
