- Synopsis
- SIDE EFFECTS Science is toil and hard work--except when it verges on miracle. When Larry O'Shawnessy Chao managed to harness the giant Ring of Charon, orbiting Pluto's only moon, to control a field of over one million gravities, he felt a touch of the miraculous . . . Until the autocratic director of Pluto's Gravities Research Lab tried to deny and suppress Larry's discovery, tried to keep the world from hearing of the miracle that would change everything. In a secret experiment, Larry and a colleague conspired to leak the discovery to scientists around the Solar System. Their success was unprecedented. But no one knew of the entity hidden in Earth's Moon, waiting for a signal--a signal tripped by Larry's innocent gravity-wave demonstration. No one knew that signal would then tell the aliens it was time to vanish the Earth!
