"Armageddon, 1970" by Robert W. Krepps is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The narrative centers on Dr. Alan Rackham, a scientist stationed at Project Star, who finds himself at the center of a conspiracy amid a backdrop of advanced technology and potential extraterrestrial threats. As the story unfolds, Rackham grapples with assassination attempts and the shadowy nature of his mission, suggesting deeper layers of intrigue involving mutants and alien forces. The opening of the story sets an intense tone as Alan survives an assassination attempt shortly after witnessing an extraordinary and horrific workplace accident involving a welder. Accompanied by his companion, Brave, they uncover an unsettling series of events that lead them to suspect that not everything at Project Star is as it seems. The intrigue deepens as Alan's life is marked by strange occurrences linked to his work on flying disks, leading to revelations about the nature of their purpose and hints of a larger threat—possibly involving mutants among them. The blend of personal and existential danger propels the story forward, challenging Alan to uncover the truth while navigating the vast complexities of his world and relationships.
