The World Set Free
Authorship not stated
You play Doctor Holsten, whose eleven months of failed experiments finally succeed one night when a speck of bismuth flares into a white light that breaks its shielding and will not stop. Burned, and giddy at a discovery that turns matter into gold and power for London, you try to make your friend Lawson see the danger before a reporter and a stolen plate take the choice from your hands. Within a year, the War Office wants a demonstration with a hundred times the material, in a week.
