Review by Nigel (310501) Rating (8/10) Review
by Nigel A group of Scientists accidentally discover a strange phenomenon when running an experiment when all the guns and explosives in the vicinity are destroyed. The field they have generated has the affect of triggering any nitrate base chemicals causing them to burn or explode. Since the majority of modern weapons use explosives and these invariably use nitrates the experimental equipment and the scientists suddenly find themselves in the middle of a political nightmare, as well as fearing for their lives. Certain people in power do not want to see this development continue and will stop at nothing to control or destroy it. The
Trigger is skillfully written, blending the hard science
typical of Clarke, with the fast paced story telling of a thriller. |
