Can a new technology put an end to war? Arthur C. Clarke and Michael
Kube-McDowell’s scientists in The Trigger have discovered a device that causes
all nearby explosive devices to detonate. Peace activists sense opportunity,
gun-lovers and the military are running scared. A political examination of the
human propensity for violence, this is sometimes chatty but always interesting.
