About This Book

A mysterious figure known as Pax coerces warring nations by manipulating seismic and auroral phenomena and deploying an airborne weapon, the Flying Ring, whose lavender ray causes devastation and threatens to alter the Earth's axis. A researcher in applied physics locates the Ring in the Labrador wilds; an accident destroys Pax but leaves the craft intact, and the researcher with an aviator learns to operate it. The narrative follows the Ring's voyage, an encounter with a drifting asteroid, a journey to the Moon, and a climactic attack on the asteroid.
