Total Recall by Larry Sternig
"Total Recall" by Larry Sternig is a science fiction novella written in the mid-20th century. The narrative unfolds in a futuristic setting where an impending alien invasion threatens the stability of the Solar System. The plot centers on a scientist who must recover the formula for a crucial chemical compound lost in his memory, which is key to thwarting this existential threat. The story follows Roger Kay, who is tasked with assisting
scientist Corvo North, whose groundbreaking discovery—a catalyst that can disrupt explosives—is crucial for defending against an invading fleet. Faced with a tight deadline, Roger and Corvo attempt to use a machine that can access and restore lost memories, specifically recalling the moment when Corvo first documented the formula. Amidst intense personal and professional strains, and with the help of Corvo's daughter, Ann, they race against time to secure humanity's survival. Ultimately, through clever planning, Roger prevents Corvo from destroying the formula once again and successfully saves the day, ensuring the invaders are stopped before they can begin their assault.
