Greenfield is a science fiction novel written during the early 20th century. The story explores themes surrounding the use of advanced scientific discoveries in warfare and the dire implications of technology when pitted against human conflict. Set against a backdrop of a world grappling with invasion and existential threats, the narrative reflects on human ingenuity and its potential to alter the course of war. The plot follows the efforts of Dr. Rutledge, a scientist who develops a synthetic protein capable of exploiting the biological vulnerabilities of the enemy forces, a Mongolian army equipped with advanced weaponry. As the conflict escalates and the tide of battle turns against the Allies, Dr. Rutledge devises a strategy to provide the enemy soldiers with food laced with this deadly protein. The outcome hinges on the enemy's unsuspecting acceptance of this artificial nourishment, ultimately leading to their downfall. Through suspenseful developments and intricate scientific concepts, the novel delves into themes of desperation, the ethics of biowarfare, and the thin line between triumph and tragedy.
