Publisher's Synopsis
Eddie Maxwell has been a thorn in his brother Richard's side for a long time. A mad scientist from a family of mad scientists who didn't fall at all far from the family tree. But now Eddie may be dying, Richard has been summoned to his bedside, and Richard's wife is determined to see him go. And of course nothing with Eddie is easy. His hospital room is bugged, someone's trying to abduct him, and all Eddie wants to talk about (in code no less) is Scorpions. In this ultimately uplifting adventure about a family of mad engineers with a messiah complex you'll fall in love with men of science and with a future based on the world's most powerful bomb.
