The Giant Stumbles (The John Lymington SF-Horror Library #2) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Strange storms suddenly appear out of (literally) a clear blue sky, and disappear just as rapidly. And only one scientist, Nigel Rhodes, understands what's going on: "the sum total of all nuclear fission has created a charge within the earth's composition, in just the same way as electricity can be charged in a storage battery."

The result will be that in five days time the spin of the Earth will for a short period slow down, almost certainly bringing humanity to an end.

How is he to convince people that what he has to say is neither a stunt nor a lunatic's imaginings, but the simple, horrifying, inevitable truth?

Autorenporträt

John Richard Newton Chance was born in Streatham Hill, London, in 1911, the son of Dick Chance, a managing editor at the Amalgamated Press. He studied to become a civil engineer, and then took up quantity surveying, but gave it up at 21 to become a full-time writer. He wrote for his father's titles, including "Dane, the Dog Detective" for Illustrated Chips, and a number of stories for the Sexton Blake Library and The Thriller Library. He went on to write over 150 science fiction, mystery and children's books and numerous short stories under various names, including John Lymington, John Drummond, David C. Newton, Jonathan Chance and Desmond Reid. Including 20+ SF potboilers, adding that he "made a steady income by delivering thrillers to Robert Hale (the UK publisher) at a chapter a week". His novel Night of the Big Heat was adapted to television in 1960 and to film, starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, in 1967.
