Produced by Frank van Drogen, Greg Weeks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Security Risk" by Ed M. Clinton, Jr. is a science fiction story published in the late 1950s. The narrative unfolds in a future where interplanetary tensions simmer between United Terra and the Interplanetary Confederation, as the threat of a devastating neural weapon brings the specter of war to the forefront. The book explores themes of scientific ethics, the responsibilities of a military-industrial complex, and the implications of security risks in a high-stakes environment. The story follows General David Walker, who is thrust into a dire situation when he discovers that the Confederation has developed advanced technology that undermines United Terra's military capabilities. Walker's search for answers leads him to former scientist Dr. Otto Millet, who has been cast out of government service due to alleged security risks. As Walker tries to persuade Millet to return to government work and thwart the Confederation's plans, he is confronted with Millet's disdain for weapon development which stands in stark contrast to his own military objectives. Ultimately, the complex interplay of ambition, science, and governance reveals a layered perspective on the nature of progress and the potential costs of conflict, culminating in Walker's realization of his precarious position within a failing system.
