314 Book 3 (Widowsfield Trilogy) - Plot & Excerpts
The Eldridge had been towed out to the middle of the reservoir, and Lyle had been put inside of Tesla’s machine. Vess started powering the machine fourteen minutes earlier, at 3:00, and precisely at 3:14 he flipped the switch on the stopgap that would allow the radiation to be introduced. This was different than it had been when he performed the experiment over a half century earlier, but he was more confident than ever that he could replicate the results. Vess had spent every day since that first experiment determined to find his way back to the doorway he’d opened once before. Einstein’s reports about how the Eldridge had disappeared, along with the corpses that had been fused to the ship’s walls, convinced Vess that the experiment had been a success, but Groves hadn’t shared his enthusiasm. Major Leslie Groves halted the CORD project a few months later, explaining that it was too dangerous to continue without further study. Whatever he’d seen that day had frightened him, and Oppenheimer’s success in New Mexico with the Manhattan Project drew all the funds that Groves had been splitting amongst the various endeavors.
