Description:
In this biting satire, the eastern and western governments have managed an elaborate ruse, wherein each side comes up with increasingly outlandish doomsday weaponsweapons that dont work. But when aliens invade, the top designers of each side have to come together to make a real doomsday device, if they dont kill each other first. With its combination of romance, espionage, and alien invasion, The Zap Gun skewers the military-industrial complex in a way as relevant today as it was at the height of the Cold War.
