A sudden, suffocating fog invades a military proving ground, incapacitating men and rescuers and forcing emergency quarantine and medical intervention. A prominent scientist and a Secret Service operative investigate, tying the assault to a notorious saboteur and piecing together evidence through laboratory work and field inquiry. The narrative alternates urgent rescue sequences with methodical detection, depicting the struggle to identify the toxin, stop its spread, and uncover the antagonist's methods. Themes include technological peril, institutional response to biological or chemical threats, and the limits of human control over engineered hazards.
