Avenging Ray

Description

The mad genius with the deadly invention

A mad genius bent on taking over the world with his powerful and destructive invention – a death ray comprised of two elements, an Anti-Coherer which dissolves matter, and a Degravitisor, which scatters the residue into the universe. The idea of a seven-foot-tall, immensely powerful scientist brooding with almost Melmothian intensity, captured the public imagination and though the book was published after its author’s death, it was a commercial success. This is at once science fiction and adventure thriller.
