Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Cosmic Deflector" by Stanton A. Coblentz is a science fiction novel written in the early 1940s. The story revolves around a groundbreaking invention that has the potential to alter gravity, leading to both monumental scientific promise and dire consequences. The plot explores themes of ambition, corruption, and the moral dilemmas faced by its protagonist, Dan Holcomb, as he battles a sinister group seeking to manipulate the Earth’s gravitational position for their own gain. The narrative begins with Dan's discovery of the Cosmic Deflector, which catches the interest of a powerful engineering firm but quickly leads him into a world of treachery. As corporate conspirators Hogarth, Wiley, and Malvine plan to use the Deflector to deflect Earth from its orbit in a scheme to establish global dominance, Dan finds himself kidnapped and held captive. With the help of his wife, Lucile, who ingeniously communicates through radio signals, they work together to thwart the Triumvirate's malevolent plot. The climax reveals a tense interplay between personal sacrifice and the survival of the planet, culminating in a heroic rescue and the restoration of Earth’s rightful orbit. Coblentz weaves a gripping tale of love, ingenuity, and the dangers of unchecked ambition within the framework of speculative science.
