About this ebook
A megalomaniac stumbles across a curious chemical in certain deposits of impure uranium which results in instant death as it is passed from one person to the other. Can Dr. Stanilaus Palfrey defeat Anak’s plan and can Banister (one ‘n’) and Rita be reconciled as she emerges from her murderous sleep? And just how should the United Nations react in the face of this blatant attempt to dominate?
