Kieron Moore

NOTES Not quite in the vein of the 'mad scientist', here we have a

scientist who makes a mistake. The consequences will

possibly bring the world to an end. The end of the world starts

with a small crack which becomes bigger. The first attempt

using an atom bomb to stop the crack 'taking over the world'

results in a piece of the earth flying off and forming a second

moon. But the crack still has expansionist ideas so the

scientist who is dying from cancer sacrifices himself to save

the world.
