Stroke of Genius
The story follows Lewis Crayley, a calculating engineer who conceals murderous intent behind a carefully cultivated public persona while supervising tape-controlled waldo robots that assemble sub-nucleonic generators. Corporate and military figures debate the economics and adaptability of waldoes versus production-line machines, and a rejuvenated director and a Space Force officer reveal that a supposedly modified drive, designated J-233, is in fact intended as a weapon to counter mysterious disappearances of off-world colonies. Themes include technological control, deception, and the moral hazards of weaponizing scientific innovation as personal ambition and interstellar security collide.
