The story revolves around an urgent global crisis initiated by a physicist named Chetzisky, who threatens to annihilate the Earth unless the United Nations achieves peace within a month. The narrative follows two determined men, Doctor Arnold Bailey and Colonel Jim Armstrong, racing against time to track down Chetzisky and prevent disaster. The novel captures a gripping journey filled with tension and intrigue as Bailey secures his way into the ominous world of nuclear science and global politics. After receiving the threatening letter from Chetzisky, Bailey, alongside Armstrong, embarks on a perilous chase that takes him from Washington to the jungles of the Congo, and ultimately to the remote Canadian wilderness. The plot thickens as Bailey discovers that Chetzisky has a dangerous plan involving a radioactive element with apocalyptic implications. As the clock ticks down, Bailey's race against time is marked by his encounter with various characters, including Doctor MacRoberts, who plays a critical role in the unfolding of events.
