Présentation de l'éditeur
And such was the exact truth for these few midnight minutes which were being ticked off by an ancient wooden clock in the corner were the most anxious of his life. In fact, a few more of them would decide whether the Great Experiment, for which he had sacrificed everything, even to his home and his great professional position, was to be a success or a failure. On the long, bare, pine table, beside which he was pacing up and down, stood a strange fabric about three feet high. It was round, and about the size of a four-gallon ale jar. It was covered completely by a closed glass cylinder, and rested on four strong glass supports. From the floor on either side of the table a number of twisted, silk-covered wires rose from two sets of storage batteries. Within the four supports was a wooden dish, and on this lay a piece of bright steel some four inches square and about an inch thick, just under a circle of needles which hung down in a circle from the bottom of the machine. A very faint humming sound filled the room, and made a somewhat uncanny accompaniment to the leisurely tick of the clock and the irregular shuffling of the doctors slippered feet. Every now and then he stopped, and put his ear near to the machine, and then looked at the piece of steel with a gleam of longing anticipation in his keen, deep-set, grey eyes. Then he began his walk again, and his lips went on working, as though he were holding an inaudible conversation with himself.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book follows Emil Fargeau, an Alsatian scientist whose groundbreaking discovery grants him control over the world's magnetic tides. His life's work is the culmination of scientific advancements made by the likes of Faraday, whose theories Fargeau has transformed from concept to reality. For years Fargeau has toiled in obscurity, sacrificing everything in pursuit of his dream to give France dominion over the world. However, when he finally presents his invention to the French Minister of War, he is met with skepticism and dismissal. In his despair, Fargeau entrusts the secret of his discovery to Captain Victor Fargeau, a German soldier and subject of the very nation that stole his beloved Alsace from France. As the secret makes its way into the hands of others, the true nature of its power is laid bare. The ability to control the magnetic tides means the ability to control the flow of prosperity and adversity, potentially enslaving entire nations and reducing them to the status of medieval fiefdoms. This book explores the moral and ethical quandaries that arise when one man is given dominion over the fate of humanity. Ultimately, it asks the question: who is worthy of such power, and what might become of humanity if it falls into the wrong hands?
