...other signs, Field Physician Garfield Fred Burkhardt suspected meningitis, probably tuberculous-a disease that was invariably fatal until twelve years ago. He plunged a needle into her back and tapped the spinal fluid. Its high cell content buttressed his fears. While Navajo Nelson Bennett worked the field radio to alert the Navajo medical center at Fort Defiance for an emergency admission, Dr. Burkhardt gave Mary Grey-Eyes a massive penicillin injection.

Remotely controlled, the monster, fueled and armed, will rise majestically to the surface as the massive doors open, go through a brief countdown as a radar-tracking dome some distance away rises from its chamber...
