Dr. Mark Bradley, who both as a scientist and as a man, faced some of the biggest problems of our times; and Jane who was only eighteen when she met him. She and her mother were both attracted by ?Brad?, and the situation thus engendered proved fateful, since it led to Brad's association with a great Viennese physicist and to his involvement in a tragic drama. Set in the late 1930s and then in America where pure science became a ?War Weapon? with possibilities of infinite disaster to the world.* A NEAR VG copy with some minor faults & dust jacket wear reducing it to GD++*
