A Test to Destruction

John Somersham is a security supervisor at the Department of Scientific Warfare. The kidnappers have come to trade his son for the technical specification pages of the new paralyzing nerve gas, NPX32, that has just been developed. They feel John has enough security clearance to have access to those papers. Being a company man, John doesn't want to deal with the kidnappers as he is applying for the post of Senior Security Co-odinator, a big step up from his present position. But in the end, he devises a plan to save his son.
