Comrade Charlie cm-9
Page 39
It was about twenty yards from the mother ship when the explosion happened. One moment the television screens were filled with the picture of a square-shaped, box-like structure, the next it burst apart into a thousand fragments but in complete silence, which heightened the shock of its destruction. Then the television screens went blank.
‘Good God!’ said Wilson. Although he’d been expecting it — hoping for it — he still sounded shocked.
Charlie, who was in the room at Westminster Bridge Road with the Director General, watching the Soviet transmission, slowly released the pent-up breath. ‘It worked,’ he said, relieved.
‘It’s difficult to believe that something as simple as the grease of ordinary hand cream could prevent the bonding of the carbon fibre sheets and create an airbubble void that would expand and explode like that in the vacuum of space, isn’t it?’ said Wilson.
‘But it did,’ said Charlie gratefully. ‘It did.’
