Cat's Cradle
by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
"Dr Felix Hoenikker, one
of the founding 'fathers' of the atomic bomb, has left a deadly legacy
to the world. For he is the inventor of 'ice-nine', a lethal chemical
capable of freezing the entire planet. The search for its whereabouts
leads to Hoenikker's three ecentric children, to a crazed dictator in
the Caribbean, to madness. Felix Hoenikker's Death Wish comes true when
his last, fatal gift to mankind brings about the end, that for all of
us, is nigh."
