Atomic! by Henry Kuttner ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

Atomic! by Henry Kuttner audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Six years after the Three-Hour War turned New York into a radioactive ruin, humanity survives by policing the bomb craters it has learned to fear. Across the world, hundreds of blast zones have become 'Rings' - dead centers surrounded by violent new growth, where mutation accelerates and anything might evolve into mankind's successor. At Biological Control Labs north of the shattered city, a weary field officer trains rookie Bob Davidson in the only rule that matters: never take chances with a Ring.When a midnight red alarm flares from Ring Seventy-Twelve, the two launch in a recon copter to investigate a cave-in and strange activity near a recent airliner crash. What they find is not just unfamiliar life, but something that can blind instruments, reshape the landscape, and push itself into a human mind. After a glimpse of a fog-shrouded 'Eye' and the sudden appearance of an impossibly blue lake, the men return with their memories fractured and their speech subtly constrained - as if some crucial truth has been locked behind a door inside their brains.Now, as colleagues call for immediate sterilization of the area, the narrator must fight invisible pressure, recover what he has been made to forget, and decide whether the standard solution might be the spark that ends the human era for good.
