About this book

An early example of ambitious science fiction in which atomic physics and aeronautic technology are used to bring about world peace and remove the immanent threat of global warfare ( ISFDB ). Amusingly, although set mainly in the USA, measurements are given in the metric system, which a footnote in Chapter III states was adopted in the USA in 1929. Curiously, I believe the USA was the second nation after France to officially adopt the metric system, but the adoption was, of course, ineffectual.
