| Summary | "The 3rd Party" by Lee B. Holum is a science fiction novel written during the mid-20th century. The story centers around a state of emergency provoked between two powerful political entities due to the potential misuse of a newly developed neutron energy technology. As tensions rise, the plot reveals deeper political intrigues involving manipulation by a third party that seeks to incite war for its own gain, positioning a chemist as an unwitting pawn in a politically charged game. The narrative follows Roger Lorin, a chemist recently relocated to Arctic City to work on a neutron project, as he becomes embroiled in international conspiracies and kidnapping. After being abducted by operatives linked to the League of Islam, he discovers that his work has made him a critical asset in a plot aimed at framing North America for an impending disaster involving the new energy source. As he navigates through his captivity and the unfolding events, he learns of the intricate historical context fueling the current geopolitical strife. The plot unfolds with action, political machinations, and ultimately a race against time to avert a catastrophic war, showcasing themes of power, trust, and the fragility of peace in the shadow of advanced technology.
