Among SF's Most Underrated Books,
By incubus@sprint.ca (Vancouver B.C.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Peace Machine (Hardcover)
A small-time British scientist accidentally discovers a formula that could detonate all of Earth's nuclear arsenal. Escaping from a troubled home life and seeking to do great things, the scientist attempts to blackmail Earth's governments into disarmament. Swallow the initial concept (Bob Shaw makes it easy) and the story that follows is scarily believable. The ending is nothing short of perfect. Superb concept, rounded, believable characters and a simple yet expressive writing style make this a rare gem. Among the author's best.

Peace Machine,
By Mr. J. Hammond (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Peace Machine (Hardcover)
I read The Peace Machine about 15 years ago and was immediately captivated by it. I generally like Sci-Fi that has a contemporary setting and Peace Machine is among the best. This is a novel that ranks amongst the best in the genre. There are some fantastic bits such as the scientist's observations of the family life in the boarding house he is staying at while he is on the run from the government and the fact that he worries that the equations of the Peace Machine in his head might be enough to trigger Armaggedon. Buy it, borrow it or steal a copy, you won't be sorry.
