For thirty-year-old captain Scott McKay, the transportation run from Miami to Denver gives him the money he desperately must keep his fledgling air cargo company flying. Whenever a secret crate is discovered on his plane, however, McKay can be ordered to reject his present training course and soar the crate and its owner, Vivian Henry, to Washington, D.C., before going to Denver. McKay requires the forced detour in stride – until a unusual noise originates from deep in the crate. It is the tone of voice of Vivian’s about Medusa’s Kid husband, Dr. Rogers Henry, warning that the delivery these are carrying is actually a completely armed Medusa device, a thermonuclear bomb that may destroy every computer chip over a whole continent, and blast the Silicon Age back again to the Stone Age. Which is set to set off within hours. As stress spreads from the tiny community of nuclear scientists who used to work for Dr. Rogers Henry towards the White colored House and eventually to the general public, several rogue military officers conspires to disobey the President’s orders and secure the technology of the Medusa device, whatever the cost. Will Captain McKay and his staff trust their personal instincts to dispose of the bomb, or will they let a misguided authorities dictate their actions?
